I am always in awe
March 17, 2012
I wish I was so
simple,
like the Watermelon seeds
And I never bothered wiping up my fears and hiding the
baby blue
printed napkins,
dropping them into the depths, between all the
trash in the waste bin so people wouldn't find them.
I am always in awe at our rituals
and habits comforted by time
And the way the Japanese place so much
significance in sakura
And how every person has a
sacred grief
And how all the apple peels
that are thrown away
return to us in trees,
in that endless cycle of peels
and skin in plastic bags.
