Fluttering

How green could stay so green

ditches and creeks transparent

the sky still cloudy blue

sometimes I see a hedgehog crawling

prickly away between the shrubbery

but tomorrow maybe

butterflies will flutter in my belly

I will see love flying in the air

today it’s the red  that I’m attracted to

at the horizon the sun is colouring

ashamed, my cheeks light up,

I make a star or even two in my eyes

when you smile back the water is less deep

then I like to swim within you

and if I’m wrong

drowning in you

is not so bad after all.
