What becomes you 2015


The flaws become us

 so what seemed

as uncommonly and broken

as the old poet says

becomes that which

 we treasure most

even which we envied

the plowman's heavy steps

 over landscape we still ache

 the tread

the wrong face

we imagined then

now cherry blossoms

as Pink as a lips I dreamed to kiss

 petals scattered everywhere in my heart

what was so unshapely then

 covers me so that I dream

the drip of your lips

 as you drown me

floating out of me

into you

 anew
