Rorschach Tulips

I scratched after broken sun

between

cloud cover.

Smothering it to my chest

I cried

when it came.

Wind wants, whispering down

south, boney, hot, honey-suckled

Making whitened pink-face

flush.

Spring penetrates opened windows ajar

Reuniting catnaps, stilled dresses warm on the floor.

I set a lip to Spring’s

bare skin.

I left a ripe print

Like tulip-kissed

petals

undressed.

Black and yellow lovers hum,

seeking sweet excess droplets to find

Curiously, vibrating

inside.

I wand them away with day old dandelions,

Blow the white dying wishes before they’ve all gone.


k.h.
