Black Velvet Wishes

Karyn Indursky

Ivory hands hold a sage green stem 

with leaves of versatility 

drawing your eyes upward 

to black velvet petals 

surrounding ruby red seeds

perplexing your emotions 

and perception watching it 

wilt at night, but open its petals 

to blossom among shooting stars

after wishes have been made 

and the ruby red seeds twinkle 

as the poetess transforms 

into a fairy to fly to her Land Of Animation.
