Poems
Dec 2018
dainty is a dandelion
I held the
words she spoke
paper flowers
pressed into
the palm
of my
right hand
and then
I heard
her speak
two words
describing
these
paper flowers
so prettily
describing
how
they bloomed
and I
held
those two
words
so prettily
next to
the paper
flowers
and I imagined
tulips
two red lips
and her
words
so prettily
became
flames
in my brain
so that
when
I breathed
into my
palm
the paper
flowers
turned to
ash
and
so prettily
I placed
them
into my
pants
pocket
to save
them
hoping
that she
could
speak
those words
again
so prettily
through
her two
red
lips
giving
life
back
to those
paper
flowers
and those
tulips
would rise
again
and press
against the
palm of my
right hand
so prettily
