"June 1, 7 a.m." by Tennison Black
What a beautiful poem to come across on Valentine's Day!
There are so many images in the poem that remind me of the Lover album, and specifically the "ME!" music video:
- I want to skip through daisy fields
- I want a plate of sugared roses
- Kissing her tastes like snowcones and marshmallow wine
- I want tiger stripes and a tail that swishes my thoughts out in 4:4 time
- I want to leave footprints in my birthday cake
- My rainbows come in circles
The imagery throughout the poem is just so joyful and in love, and the songs that come to mind that speak to that are "King of My Heart", "Sweet Nothings," "So High School," and "You Are In Love."
But none of them match the ebullience of the poem, so I'm sticking with, "ME!"
