paper dolls
could not predict
the type of house
we have:
butter knife,
coin purse,
glass cup
beside a
window outlooking
ourselves–
it cloaks itself
in cool colors
as the
fiery floor
flows beneath
our floating
feet.
neck curved, your kiss
unfurls to me
like a fern from
your shirt’s forest
green, reflects
the leaves
dotting the gradient
blush of my
birthday bouquet.
you are
my favorite
surprise.
