The bougainvillea <br />taps its fingers <br />against the whiteness <br />of the house <br /> <br />waiting for the humans <br />to come out <br />notice it. <br />Notice how beautiful <br />it is. <br /> <br />When we do <br />enter its world <br />a slight wind <br />snatches at your golden hair <br /> <br />and ensnares <br />it with a twist of flower <br />your laughter <br />entangled with it. <br /> <br />The bougainvillea <br />outraged <br />that I notice <br />only you.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/outraged-bougainvillea/
