Special
By Estrella Azul
He buys a freesia
and compliments your hair.
Never noticing
fright in your eyes,
he persists
leaving flowers behind.
Threatening as it is
you feel unique.
Having your own
special stalker
isn’t so bad …
Scary, run. Good job.
O how we want to be noticed if not adored even if it feels dangerous.
