green bubbles
beat down to cover
the arid ground
infuse the desert
with the scent of
cinnamon
the crown of
an african queen
admirable in distance
poisonous to the touch

Touch-me-not
I love mimosa pudica for her sensitivity
which often mistaken for shyness
she is truly the sleeping beauty
undisturbed in the depth of the night
stretching open to the first morning ray
her distinctive memory of my touch
earned my loyalty to watch her intently
makes her a seductress
has me wrapped around her little finger
playing touch-me-not
