Petals of Friendship

Karyn Indursky

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.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by Kristen Nicol when she described to me how friends are like clothing to be worn for different amounts of time and occasions. I'm hoping to be an outfit for Kristen all the time because I love her dearly and want to be there for her good times, but also the bad.
