A Split Second
a split second
under the blanket
of wet cotton balls
flutter wings
dipped in apricot jam
topped with
eyes
of maple leaves clinging to glass in rain
lips
stained by raspberry blood near tree trunks
cheeks
the inside of a bear cub’s paw
nose
the white kitten behind mature dandelions
neck
wrapped in sea foam
leaving trails of turquoise stones
