Ilaria

she's quick-minded
like a lizard
she points curiously
her tiny muzzle at you
and darts away
is there again
looking at you from another angle

Ilaria is a lizard
lazy lizard lover of sun
I see her heart pulse
through her soft side

she wants her birthday kiss
don't miss
the sun
my sunflower
her hair's the crown
of petals
of the lover of sun

and I'm the one
who would melt
between sun and sunflower
