superbloom
—Rebecca Uhlman
superbloom
aren’t you tired
of shuffling from foot
to foot, the days moving
away with no orchestra
on their heels? if light
can scatter, surely
so can darkness. now
the daffodils are in bloom,
their fragile trumpets
pushing a song
into the air. now the red
tulips are awake & open
like mouths. i believe
that the heart of the world
is big enough for me.
if i am a desert, i am one
carpeted by color.
i want to be something
more than wealth.
i want to live like the thirst
water has for itself.
