WHEN YOU WILT

YOU, SUNFLOWER my personal Nation
the native of beauty as well — harvested
love-seed!

i am slightly bent as a stem against
changing winds

tall of course, my face of bright yellow then
again brown center – sometimes red!

my heavy head-filled with tears(sometimes)
seeds
a remarkable flower am i,
tough, easy to grow– as long as the soil
is not waterlogged

and heat! drought-tolerant!
attractive to BEES and BIRDS
like my heart and soul bee!

me: SUNFLOWER

THE JUKEBOX ATTIC

My smiles are all inside
a jukebox attic of your
forever never-forgiving
bone cave mind!
I have a chisel sharp-thought
bringing me freedom
and you wish your highness
could bring every man
to his knees.  I forgot my
parakeet who speaks
all the seedless words
of your tongue.
To wait for a simple sentence
conjures an ink-dipped heart.
I’m just a tattoo kiss
upon your heart.
