lemon yellow
sweet as sugar
you melt like butter
in my mouth
and leave me
panting in a puddle
on the floor...
you are the colors of the ocean
and
you come in hard
like the tide...
a bated held breath surprise


the skirt i crushed on...

everytime i went into smart set
the girl that worked there
would be wearing
the skirt.

it was a burnt copper-y
reddish kind of orange
that made me think
of fall
and backpacks
and the taste of woodsmoke
at the back
of your throat.

a-line and light as a feather silky smooth material.
i bet you could float like a helium balloon in it,
i bet you would feel like air.

last night i went into smart set
and there was a different girl working,
a girl who dressed all in black,
like me.

i don't wear color.

hardly ever ever.

i checked the sale rack
as i always do
{i am frugal as well as consistent}
and there it was
in a flash of bright red orange swinging-ness
and the girl in black
said
anything with a pink tag
is 25% off the lowest price.

sold to the girl who doesn't wear color.




poetry thursday

toasted homemade bread
slathered with jam and butter
i sit on the edge of my seat
straining to hear...
waiting to see...
wondering in form
you would choose to appear to me...
would it be in the blur of bokeh
or a broken heart shaped rock found on the beach
will i hear it when it happens
will i notice
will i see...
