Dandelion Duvet
In my world
there is a director
who leads me into a scripted scene
every day
A frog on a bicycle
has golden braids
I see effort
A rat in a car
raising its middle finger
I see anger
A dog out for a walk
wearing sunglasses
I see loneliness
A magpie pacing back and forth
smiling at me
I see kindness
Two roosters
stroking a plump, soft caterpillar
I see longing
…
An iridescent butterfly
passes through sunlit droplets
then touches down on a dandelion
If she could
she would gather all the dandelions in the forest
make them into a soft duvet
and hold her lover close
in the night
