Quick look at me! - I love to see you
laugh that way - it's you that makes me
look this way - you make the clouds feel
like a rainbow - I'm a rainbow that is
brighter than the sun - my colors
rain delight - my feathers splash
like leaves on frosty mornings -
but they never fall - they flower -
they explode - I am a flower
swinging in a tree - the tree
explodes and through the air I flower
tree to tree to tree - my feathers
petalling my arms and wrists - my petals
feathering my fingers - backs of hands -
fruit swinging from my hips - bananas
mangoes - oranges heaped on my head -
cascading down my back - I want
to dance from limb to limb to limb in rooms
where I am always in your view - and then
to do what I love most - to disappear
into the night with you
