poppy and green poem for me

the sunbelly fish rolling in the clear pool 
so fat but restless 

the leader leaf dips fingers twitch 
tongue on the dew on the apple skin

tunnel eye contact green need eats sun 
then rocketing away 

coins rattle on the seat
the senseless interstate 

paintbrush investigates button 
a breath is too much

my breath slapping the backdoor shut 
never said. I want a family with you

I love you as you are. 
wanting makes a self of me, but I want 

to fling myself relaxed on the dawn keys 
the spinning sea will swallow a single salt tear

the warm green fabric we tear      
pelted with salt 

the poppy sun sprouts, bleeds ease, 
horizon relief, I love as I am.
