Sunflower Pen

Yellow paper and a plastic sunflower pen
brighten up a small patch
of the dreary fake wood table.
The sunflower bounces as on a breeze
while the pen tilts and scratches
at the paper’s surface.
Oh, that I had the power
to make the wind blow
and wave all sunflowers
on their plains of green—
that I might see
the colors shift the light
painting the sky in a dream.
