And a Happy Canada Day to you from a USAmerican.

Honey, suckle:
perch on this stool
gin and juice and
boys will come buzzing
you’ll see, bumblebee.

Hi, biscus:
across the bar
highballs lined up like
pylons
obstacle course
take the baton
and carry us home.

Tulip:
tight-lipped
making this a game
just makes it more fun.
Like pulling weeds from the garden,
tell me where
to put my hands

Sunflower:
some power you have
over us all
kiss me at my apartment landing,
even the grass dances.

Forget-me-not:
I wake up and you’ve made tea
you’re still here
in my greenhouse
and we’re blooming

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadian readers. May our country continue to be the True North, strong, and free.

Love,

ELLE
