We open
as an exotic flower,
bright petals
unfolding to the night.
Exposing delicacies
so intricately,
the cool air
mingling with our
loudly coloured bodies.
As in
time elapsed photography
we bloom
blossom out
and shrivel
only to be planted again.
Anticipation
for the next
opening night
trembles in our stems.
