Lunar Queen

a new moon rising
bringing blossoms to springtime
blooms: the cat's meow

Equality Isn’t Equity

sometimes numbers lie
(yet, if you want to trade spots...
you might understand)

a birthday ski day
followed by badminton, cake
and these perfect blooms

queen of Saturday 
loves to watch us do yard work 
from her bed blue throne

with my snout, i beg 
hoping for one m&m
and aren’t i worth it?

my sunflower girl,
her modernist self-portrait 
so true to her soul

snow showers plague spring
with their heartless reminder
of cold’s endless reach

recent immigrants 
cross the sea to wholly see
how corrupt we are

when April snow comes,
she draws perfect silhouettes 
before spreading soil

my girl’s accepted
into her dream universe 
filled with stardust, hope
