petals

the leaf like part of the blossom



you breathe with your mouth open

discharging humidity

but it's not the humidity that

attracts all the boy bees

it's the heat



little chickadees

flutter from morsel to morsel



your pink coral blossom

draws me into a spin



it's hot and dry and i

wonder how you would feel

in a summer embrace



in a summer kiss



i am always lonely

that is why i buzz from

one event to another



the birds and the bees

make art of ardent desire



i bend down to touch my lips

to the petals and take a whiff



the flowers and nature and you

are the only vacation i have had

in more than a month



i guess tonight i will float

with the blossoms and think

of your heat that has all of nature

fluttering around the dance floor

Descriptive and full of longing. Beautiful.
