Short Story Picture Book - Sunflowers

Sunflowers painted
On my skin. The flower with
Scratching leaves
Feathered heart
Facing down towards the ground

Awaiting the sun
They rise, they bloom
Growing hot in the summer blaze

Rising to occasion
Bringing up their
Hearts. Fire and gold mustard glisten
Centre deepen black

Sunflowers scatters
Beauty as they twist to see the sun
(Drawn scratchy
On the page
It does not look real
The refracted image of you.)
