strange things happen
i become smaller and smaller
sister to the small things
i scurry with chipmunks
hop with grasshoppers
scare crickets with my fiddle
i congregate with blackbirds
to steal the raspberries
before the children come out to play
then hide in a petal
to watch their eyes grow wide
i get drunk on petunias’ perfume
bumblebees invite me to dance
at dusk
i fall in love
with a butterfly
