Olivia Wendel

Blossom

Declare the drumming of a daring heart.

Mourn a loss in a composed bundle.

Hold me between your teeth

As you rhythmically swing,

Back and forth

Back and forth.

Watch me wilt in a forgotten glass.

Pluck my arms for an ambiguous answer

To the mystery that is love.

Or pass me by in a field as I sway,

Back and forth

Back and forth.
