Pleasure
By Aiyanna Zareen
Jewel-bright saris and bright orange marigolds
a blue whale delves deeper into blue
lemon-white saguaro bloom
tangible sunlight carding alpaca wool apricots
a shimmering hummingbird stops to sip wet fuchsia
imbibing pale ale at the bluegrass jam festival
being music//manta rays cruising aquamarine shallows
I want to touch your kaleidoscope
drinking jasmine green tea, the exploding translucence of Caspian tigers
Finnish borealis, feeling sapphire brush-strokes of sea-crash
