Origami

Folder: 
Poems 2005

Was this written in the stars?
Or did you pay someone to etch them in? In the Origami style

a million 2 centimeter swans
swarm the tabletop
plotting
secretly (of course)
for world domination.

Your irises are etched with green and gray,
but I cannot find a picture where they are not red.
Did you come here to possess me?
Please, be my guest.

     Fly my pretties!
Soar the cotton candy skies of sunset
and make sure to have them love you
the way I do.

When the world ends we will take hands
And praise one another
on a job well done

because we loved them.
