Poem: Is Love a Fever Dream?

Graphic by Alexa Parish

dream watching petals

carelessly encourage the purity

of hopeless romantics to reflect

upon a pure color of innocence in

reality as they would do

asleep.

‍

awake and alone, pink

is what blossoms, the glass

window above

the ground of crisscross

walking students, who view

its reflection as a worthy

enough polaroid to keep

as a lifelong memory in

the fleeting essence of

what should be cherished as

youth.

‍

flashed within seconds,

the people within the frames

begin to develop as the picture

itself hums a hymn about spring;

how only in spring,

can they bloom as lovingly as the

dreams you seem them in.
