When Tickled Pink

the shades are drawn
petals given soft light

hush and then it comes

heavy clouds grant a deluge
the anatomy of a flower
deep and fragrant
on the scale of nano
a wellspring for Lilliputians
creepy crawlies
and winged intermediaries

go to the well bumble bee
drink of the fermenting dew
and pollen laced absinthe

stumble and jolt
tumble and hover

take your time
have your way
with all the greedy girls
these heads hang heavy
when tickled pink
