you're green baby,
mean green
sharp, pointy;
tip of a smokeless chimney.
skyscraper you,
magnificent you,
giver of soul
blessing to teeth
you are the footprint of gnomes;
seductive lights on a bridge
marriage partner to soft-boiled eggs;
the beginning of a gentle sonnet
i dip you, twirl you, crunch you, bite you,
and you stand quite innocently
in the setting sun
on the edge of my field,
unconquered.
asparagus.
