Maple Leaf
YOU ARE………
You are a goat that is as white as snow, roughly eating its grass.
You are like a maple leaf desperately awaiting a gust to blow it safely home.
You are the taste of venom on my tongue.
You are the impossible madness of clawing mice.
You are a toxic plastic bag flying through the blue.
You are a quiet pear scrambling across the table in search of its leaf.
You are the touch of a freezing cold ice cube sticking to my skin.
You are like fear jumping out from its skin.
You are like a mouse as tall as a sky scraper.
You are the sound of pitter patter rain on my tongue.
You are a darkened penguin squawking like a parrot soaring across the jungle.
You are an African fire tiger riding across the forest searching for cool willow tree shade.
You are the memory of a broken glass that never fell.
You are happiness about to burst with joy.
You are a dull grey parrot flying through the lush blue jungle, smelling a speck of danger.
You are the impossibility of hard teddy bear,
a soft house,
a cold volcano,
and a shallow ocean.
You are like a fire breathing knight poised to slay a dragon like the wisp of a flame.
