Matthew Edward Peterson (12/21/1983 / Salt Lake City, UT)
Dragonfly
take notice in the simpler
as if grace presenting
a meaning within your grasp
and hear the sound of water
brushing
so slightly
your flesh
and as you rise to land
to feel a difference
in pleasure
and as your knees deeper dive
your toes arise to take the oxegon
but a pedstool amoung things
for a butters-sly
or dragonfly
and the shine pours your skin
in radiance
as if the thought of every flower
can reach their colour too you
the bending wave
the minnows brave
the smell of dew, and you
the heart to find
the blood aligned
and every sense is true
take notice in the simpler
