Fluttering

How green could stay so green
ditches and creeks transparent
the sky still cloudy blue

sometimes I see a hedgehog crawling
prickly away between the shrubbery
but tomorrow maybe
butterflies will flutter in my belly
I will see love flying in the air

today it’s the red that I’m attracted to
at the horizon the sun is colouring
ashamed, my cheeks light up,
I make a star or even two in my eyes

when you smile back the water is less deep
then I like to swim within you
and if I’m wrong
drowning in you
is not so bad after all.
