CITRINE

Windsor McInerny Student Contributor, University of California - Berkeley
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UC Berkeley chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

Lichen grows up my legs 

Green as my eyes 

Reflecting on your lilac palms, 

Ripe with the bluebells 

You picked just now. 

My heart swells 

Like English ivy onto my chest 

As the wind blows Orphic melodies 

Through growths of nettle 

You were cut from the same stone as citrine, I decide.
