verdant green

eau de parfum

verdant green, fresh cut grass. i am green.

i am green inside.

an unknown hand floats across my head.

sticky palm absorbing my chlorophyll.

a happy black dog rubs its back on my skin.

careful to avoid brown. matted and hard.

let me be green. visible and seen.

pampered and shaped into topiary forms.

the mad hatter. ebullient though not carefree.

i am green outside. fragrant and evocative.

how green is my Vaseline™?
