Pluck my sweet red wine petals
with your baby-breath fingers. Allow your
rhythmic fingers quilt my pattern. Turn
my fragnence into perfume. Make me into
dangling ears. Turn me into a quilt. Sew into
a bed sheet or blanket. Have me be a charm
on your necklace. Pay a jeweler to make you
an anklet with my color and design. Alter me
into a hat. Sequin me into your scarf. Sweep
your chlorophyll eyes over me as they swing
dance in the sheer enjoyment of how I
flourish your essence. Use your smoky white
caresses to feel how soft, luxious, and beautiful I am.
Wear me.
