Yes, yes, yes!

from The Seed Shop

By Muriel Stuart

...Here in their safe and simple house of death,
Sealed in their shells a million roses leap;
Here I can blow a garden with my breath,
And in my hand a forest lies asleep.

Baby Orang-utan
by Helen Dunmore

Bold flare of orange -
a struck match
against his mother’s breast
he listens to her heartbeat
going yes yes yes
