Petals whisper at the touch
as an afternoon breeze
caresses the orange
and slides along my cheeks
thump
There is a sudden echo
in my chest
It resonates through
my body, a glass cage
racing along my bones
from head to toe
I freeze for a moment,
hand poised over a single flower in bloom
thump
It echoes again
I feel it more precisely
It's not my heart, but something
right beside it
Throbbing as if it were a mirror
of my own core
beating at a quicker pace
Petals fall from my fingers
pink fluttering like
minuscule butterflies
