Auburn Nest

full chromatic color opening Dorothy’s door from ceiling to floor — the rainy season’s generous a stunning rainbow or two. captivating, the creature who skitters about in and out of crumbling retaining walls, running the mulch like an obstacle course. dandelions, a treasure to be plucked and tucked in my hands. a trivial bouquet that my mind will savor ...forever. a wise guy’s eyes, small that they may be. the mouthpiece with missing teeth. he points out the glittering street and all the gold he can find. i kiss the top of his auburn nest. he’s growing up so fast! 6/9/2020 *Truly this is a compilation of two pairs of boy’s eyes. The tender young are so poetic of mind.
