making bass flower lace

at your desk

groaning over homework

malicious maths

until jumping up

giving up

you must have music

it’s your bass player playing

sweet subterranean electric basslines

from inside planet Earth

on your bed

hurling yourself into the feeling

deep vibrations saturations

closing your physical eyes

opening your soul’s eyes wide

imagining

your mystical twin

a bass player cool charismatic

a world wonder out of this world

but you can speak to him

at least in telepathic

rich dark tones are pouring from inside planet Earth

minuscule dark flower clusters

like Chantilly lace enfolding you

a clinging dress the colour purple mystic

made from dream plum true ocean heart crimson blue

you say

I want to play the electric bass

making bass flower lace

like vitamin frills to wrap around people

like healing like feeling alive

he smiles

do it

but some say girls can’t really play the bass

there are great female bass players anyway

but you know they say

not really really play

yeah I know

do it anyway

you’re stretching

waking with an appetite

even for maths

chiffon of youth

where is your turquoise dress?

trying to remember the last time you wore it or even saw it

fastening the elusive fabric to your inner eye

the fabric your dreams were made of

halfway into sleep

scanning your life’s horizon

for the blue-green Morse code signal

going to your own place

your own beach where you used to wear it

the chiffon of youth

the sand of sleep is giving

there’s a bright distant sound

you’re sinking

imagining

a horizontal rainbow on the beach

you running along the sections of colour

and in the room of orange-red

is your turquoise chiffon of youth

to retrieve it you need to walk through

so you do

there’s a vibrant sound soaring

it’s turquoise in the sky above

the fiery red rowan

waking at 2 a.m.

you want to learn to play the saxophone

inner classmates

a yoga girl at twelve

you’re sitting cross-legged on your bed

trying to visualize your classmates

locked out by the pandemic

forced to communicate

listening through phoney screens

you’re so missing their essence

just a hint of their real scent

they’re a wild flowers bouquet

you’re all wild

you’re one wild flower

standing on each other’s shoulders

desperate acrobats

and you miss each other’s subtle missives

boosting who you really are

a yoga girl at twelve

dreaming your inner classmates

aiming to give them self-esteem

adding the final touch

imagining

Layla golden dandelion

you’ll blow her stuffy glory

and find a fluffy angel’s story

Abdul sparkling blue periwinkle

you’ll paint his wizard’s cloak

with a whizzing starlight sprinkle

Serena sweetbriar shy

silk half hidden in the sand

you’ll show her the power of the rose pink sky

Mei-Mei purple common mallow

you’ll tell her to be visible

a flower tower to follow

Daniel scarlet pimpernel

you’ll tell him to save himself

for a grey rainy day

Holly green-flowered helleborine

you’ll tell her she’s fine

being just green

a yoga girl at twelve

colourbreathing

fast asleep to the music

of their fragrant chatty souls

tree link

winter on your futon shuddering slightly

you’re pulling a striped green duvet

over yourself

hoping to melt the tension

in your mind and muscles

thinking of people and trees

trees and people

opening your hands palms up

as if hoping for a gift from the universe

how to build healthy homes

for people and trees

trees and people

trying to tune in to this vision

imagining

your mystical twin

slender Lin Lin

her black hair untamed

she says thought you never came to see me

her cardigan is made of sunlit windows

where green shades of leaves are moving

her lace skirt so sun-brilliant

it’s throwing citric yellow sparks

her clean sneakers

have grass growing out of soles

like she’s forever on a walk in the park

she says the best place for a healthy home

is near a vigorous tree

where the tree can feel your heartbeat

sometimes the tree will emit a stream

of loving green flowing

underneath your feet

but the tree has to be directly opposite

a portal that must be open

for the tree and the residents to benefit

you ask Lin Lin

are you an architect like me

no

but together we are a tree link

waking up smiling

you feel included in life
