For Christine

This poem is inspired by and dedicated to Christine Ha, MasterChef season three winner. Christine, I'd like to Sit and dream with you for a bit- You, the story teller Me, the dreamer. I'd like to wash my heart In your evidence that There is colors and Meanings in this world. Did the sea urchin's Spine feel like the grass That so many wonderful dreamers Know all too well? I can picture them Purifying themselves in labor- Some with their hands, Others with their heart. I imagine a sponge in your hands, Your fingers tightly squeezing And the splash that would reverberate As the water hit your soul. Then i imagine the sun reflecting off That image. And all I can do Is smile.
