Glossed over eyes
hide a world of vibrancy
while merry go rounds of thought
monopolize her mind.
She inhales
against an imagined backdrop
of whipped yellow
and marmalade.
Watching her
reminds me of the gears
we played with as children.
The irrepressible interconnections
and movement
of the sky and earth,
and the love
lying on the pavement.
With each breath
that falls from her lungs,
she softens the world’s edges,
soaking in pools
of delectable chaos.
Her smile radiates
smoking shadows,
and bolts of lightning
cling to her skin.
