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

The Grand Adventure by Jim Bartlett

Walter gently slides the still steaming pancakes onto the serving plate, then sets it dead center on the “big ol’ wooden table,” a name gifted to it by Natty, his great-granddaughter. It’s exactly at that moment the sound of the front screen door slapping closed rings through the kitchen.
A smile breaks across his face – that’s his cue – and he steps over to the refrigerator, grabbing the stainless-steel pitcher of home-squeezed orange juice. He clunks ice into a Mason jar mug until it’s half full, and then tops it off with the juice.
Just the way she likes it....
