I Want

written by: Chloe Gilholy

@Chloboshoka

I want to wake
to the smell of tulips
lie back in jewels
and laugh

I want to pour out
DANCE under flapping crows
wind flowing over
toes to the sky

I drink sunshine
in little tubs
wobbling and reeling
by the window

I want to wash
my flaws in
narcissus waters
green-white beryl floats

Then lie some more
in sunspots
sniffing green fragrances

“Hemmingplay,” is the pen name of Doug Stanfield, who grew up on a family farm in western Ohio, went with his parents for two years in Karachi, Pakistan, in high school and had lived, until recently, in Bellefonte, PA with his late wife, Wilda and their two sons, Ben and John. Doug was a writer, editor and director of internet communications at Penn State for 26 years. He has had a few disreputable occupations, including newspaper reporter and editor, and public relations flak, but is trying to make amends for his sins by writing poetry and fiction. When his sons were safely off making their own mistakes, he turned on the computer one day, stared at the screen, and began to learn the craft anew at age 67. Doug has published three books: "Mermaid Sisters: First Dive", a children's book; "I Came From A Place of Fireflies" and, "Snowflakes & Ashes: Meditations on the Temporary”.
