I’d like to come back
as the type of tree
that people
carve
their names on.

rising balloons on currents
become the clouds overhead
at sunset
all the colors at once
all the pretty feathers
in hats on Easter. One
year I remember an Easter hat
with a thin white elastic band
to keep it on my head.
The thin mark it left on each
cheek as I wore the hat until I
fell asleep.
All white straw and blue bows with
fake daisies and leaves. All what
I dreamed of for my pretty Easter
day.
A dress that twirled and hands
that let balloons fly into
the sunset to
become clouds.

I don’t know what to say about
it all except it
reminds me why I got permanent ink
on my right forearm
O hopeful dreamers, we…
yes, yes.
