Red Mohawk
I see her from a distance
and immediately sense
a certain grace
in her form;
a young woman
with a red mohawk
standing in the grass
stretching
beneath the afternoon
sun.
Her face
her arms
her legs fingers
toes
belly
so white and beautiful
as she stretches them
beneath the afternoon
sun.
“Hello,” I say,
walking by.
“Hello,” she says,
smiling, smiling.
She is a photograph.
She is a painting.
She is as beautiful as anything that exists.
Some spend entire lives
trying to create
some tiny semblance
of beauty
while other do it
without knowing,
without trying,
by simply stretching in the afternoon
sun.
I am not sure
what this means,
but it’s why I like
springtime
in Santa Cruz.
