Green

Like a leaf

With highlighter green legs

To me you resemble

A misshapen snow pea

Growing out of the tiles

You sit still

Commanding curiosity

I dare not look too close

Green

I notice you with a shock

Now sitting on the window

As if you've always been there

Moving only under darkness

Later on the floor

I see what you really are

Alive but trapped

Motionless

You will die without help

A shock of orange and yellow

Your vulnerable side shows

I lift you from my world

Back into your own

To disappear

As if you never existed
