In the tunnel carved
out of leafy expanse
orange punctuates green…
Flowers
i woke up today feeling like someone inflated a balloon right up in my sinuses
im working on my flower pep talk theres a hot date coming up and nothing says i love you
How does one follow
the sun to survive…
so i go through all the effort to find a key hook
and the keys
but now the keys are gone…
A flower whips,
side to side,
in a swirling breeze…
Flowers are not blooming
in their outdoor beds
She gives them sleeping bags
in her kitchen instead…
I saw a flower sprout up,
it was small with white petals,
a little bit droopy…
Clear your head,
they say,
and I agree,
except I cannot
clear my hand
without clear air
and pine scent carried
down the hill….
If you don’t look
directly at it, instead focusing
on the beagle sniffing
along the flower bed edge…
