Pink Petals and a Green Universe

I walked to work today.


I saw vines curled, twined tightly in themselves
around a telephone pole, through and behind and around


and enormous yellow dandelions like suns scattered
throughout the green universe


pink petals blowing before me, out of my sleeves like a magician's act
wedged into every crevice and crack
rimming the edge of a pool of water


me with my hipster garb,
purple sunglasses and pixie hair


and imagining writing this for you
sketching the vines
the flowers
the petals


for you
for you to love
and see
like I did

Experiences on one of those super-aware spring walks, where everything around you stands out in such vivid detail.
