dandelion
I sometimes wonder
if you can sense the way
your energy fills
a room, the way knees
begin to buckle and bend
at the mere sight of
you? How sharing the
same space often ignites the
smokey, firework
filled- frenzies. You are
buttoned up/ combustible/
a windsor/ (k)not for the
weary/ even on
your off-day, sex seems to seep
from every
ounce of you. And when
your smile begins to descend
upon your lips i
quietly picture
my own, brushing against them.
The assembly line
of adoration
forms and soon there is no room
for me/ they dive in
hips first, swimming in
your contagious grin. But you
quickly bore of this
side-show you know you
will never be without a
warm bed/ you know that
there will always be
the hungry ones, the eager
ones, struggling
up from the cracks of
the earth like dandelions
after the first rain in may.
