1.
Some people call you a shrub
Some people do not know
what they are missing

2.
Some people say you act
sensitive

I know you are
but what am I?

We are not stones
We are here sensing

one another

3.
Some people say you act
feminine

What does this mean?

That you reach
ecstatically
for the sun?

That you come
in many colors?

That you like a cool drink
in a curved glass
on a warm evening?

Nothing?
Everything?

4.
I think I like you
best in yellow
draping like a chandelier

You should wear what you want though
I should not say such things

5.
When sun rises
you are who you are

I watch you
in wonder
