mimi yoon

do you not long for me?

he thought maybe he didn’t croak loud enough… but he was loud enough…

she built a canopy
of dragonflies
to keep the freckles from growing
on her nose and her earlobes

i can fly and i am beautiful

take with you confetti of dragonfly wings

folded into the shape of a heart

i’ve seen him only through the curtain of rain

and the dreams and the song

and i don’t know where to keep myself

burning passion
under her flirty chiffon

and it started to rain…

she’s a bird in a cage
not of wooden bars
nor of iron rods
but of golden wires
and of golden leaflets

i promise to think of you when the rain comes…

the color of my dream i woke up to this morning…

a bottle of raindrops
a puff of heaven’s cloud

daisy on turntable

close the curtains and send the stars home

winter in her heart and autumn in her eyes and spring in her hair

don’t look at me with those eyes for i am only a messenger

i have a story… a beautiful one… but i can’t share it with you
