Seven Shades of Green
When I am this close,
I see that there are layers
in your eyes, seven shades
of green when the light
collides with and separates
the freckles of color within.
I see:
roads that lead to the sea,
to the edges of jungles and
a million scattered leaves,
ladybugs flying past your cornea,
and an iris that resembles a moonflower,
branches upon branches that extend
a lonely stretch of highway,
and landscapes never
traveled anymore, but
there are rivers that flow
southward into
solitary hearts
like mine
that beat the
brightest
shade of red
when held in
the vines
of your
embrace.
