(i)
The gold face
of a flower
switched
to light up
potholes like those
of dented
marigold's petals.
In light's translucent path,
holes and dents
opening mouths
quietly to let you grasp
a sun-lit doorstep,
but hides snares
to ignite a deep
bone-breaking fall.
(ii)
You're not
not grabbed
with stretched condor wings
in the house
for a full hug
until the door
closes behind you,
when little space
rings and drums
for you to plump down
into a seat.
After hanging
outside a door step's
cream and silver
overture
channeling light to pass
with a visitor's ray,
settle down
into every petal's stool
like scores
and hundreds
of other standing guests.
Like a trumpet,
lift up a marigold flower
by its pedicel,
the mouthpiece
to let you blow into
a marigold's trumpet,
as its thousand
petals fly at you
with ribbons of moths
to hover over
a comet's
brightening rays
without burning themselves
in a flower's flames
and fire
of splashed light.
(iii)
I'm not
the buzzing bee
heading for
your deep vein's blood,
but just the gaudy
butterfly,
a visitor clothed
in a rainbow
to arch over a lit path.
Let your headlamp
sweep through
night's blinded eyes,
when every ray
spins quivering
spears shot to rip
open an onyx door,
as you widen your eyes
for a deep
drumming kiss.
