BY NANCY TABER
I am
a peppery wicked witch
with
tingling purple eyes
and
a dragon hummingbird
flying by my side.
I am
a zesty pair of overalls
in
an emerald rocking chair
with
motes and mermaid fireflies
dancing on the air.
I am
cartwheeling
clawing
scraping
scratching
falling
soaring
roaring
I am
I am
I am
all these things
and more.
