daydreamer by. anna shirshova

Strawberries

in her hair

blush softly

when she laughs.


I braid the flowers

into her head


so their myths

may sleep

in her ears.


Pink dreams

pink fables

pink nectar—


on her tongue

lodges

dreamy dew


in golden drops,

it dons

her cracked lips,


sore from

kissing.




 



Written by. Anna Shirshova

Painting by. Gustave Caillebotte (Nasturtiums, 1892)
