Tongue of Amber
A cloak of emerald ombré
waves
and crackles
across the atmosphere.
Limbs of light
the color of a hummingbird’s neck
brighten the sky.
A tongue
of amber peeks
over
the horizon.
Colors race
towards a finish line
of light.
Calmness
is a thing with
flames.
NAIL SALON by Helen, Tony, Ali, Jack, Timothy, Misu, Anvivi & Binh, age 9 & Carmen, Angelina, Vanessa & Emily, age 8
Nail Salon
Chemicals drift around my nose,
and bottles of polish clatter
and clink
on the shelf. Clippers click,
files whisper,
dryers whir.
From beneath the sound,
Mom paints finger and toenails
the color of crashing Atlantic waves,
of morning,
of sunflowers,
of paradise,
frost
and blood,
and a million stars
gleaming down
from a
Saigon
sky.
