Poem Title:
Poem
You constantly amaze me And I want to walk up the steps of your palm Into your cabin tips I could watch the sun set in your eyes In a room without doors or windows You’re like a bedtime story told in a field to mice. Every reaction you create becomes a dream in a billygoat’s mind I want to holler on the cliff with you In a sunset tree with you While the fireflies bathe in our sweat with pine Every stare you give me is popping with deer licks Cat stretches wolf wounds and butterfly heart beats You come to me like the smell of breakfast in the morning Whenever I make you smile I feel like a hairless dog in a hot spring Being scrubbed with fresh sugar cane My brain is a mall for the shopper cells To buy beautiful gifts for the Christmastime of You My brain cells are ice cream balls Rolling through a lime tart pinball machine Where every time they hit popsicles They fall apart into wished-upon stars Baby ducks Muffins in May And Mary Magdalene’s eyes All because of your windowsill butter words. You are something to be thought of while on a mountain in the middle of nowhere While eating a hot sandwich Or seeing children on Michigan sand bars. To hold your hand would be to wander into a peanut shell on a forest floor You are a sad thought’s worst nightmare Your laugh is a trip past Kentucky Your hair is hot rain falling on the prairie Your mind is a bowl of mixed grains And I could watch you wake up like a child watches cookies baking in the oven I could watch you eat like I really, truly love you. This, I’ve just discovered.
