metamorphosis

After Charles Wyatt

a flower waves its children as wind ruffles grass

like children chasing butterflies or flies coated in

butter yellow butter bellow yutter white flutter

furry hares perched ears daisy hairs honeyed

skin petals pressed onto fingernails nails

oranging from the petal juice we sit criss-cross

applesauce sneeze in the breeze white fur allergy

seasons wax and wane hummingbirds sing

cicadas echo their humming and like cicadas we

circle in circles whirling pink clouds as the sun

melts in its circular orbit golden dew

drips through transforming blades of grass into

glades of brass
