let the mysteries begin

it’s not too late
   to propagate from me
a sexy scarecrow in the
   starfields of eternity

my skinny bones forgotten by
   the empty wind
my roving eyes devoured by
   the sun

my ears replaced with
   cricket chirps &
   mating dreams
my insides blooming outside
   with flowers
   of spring

what a subtle transformation
   love can be––
looking in the mirror
   seeing you instead of
me.
