I Want To Be Poem by Liberatore Suffoletta

I Want To Be



In orange morning
I want to be a strawberry
In green afternoons
I want to be dancing hummingbirds
Black lips.
(turn the garnet color of love.)

In purple evening
I want to be the evening star’s
eyes reading your books

In the white night
I want to dream myself.
A soul.

And at dreams end
I want to be a firefly
caught from behind
by love
