Do I stress you out?
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say how appropriate.

The Violet and the Pine

Late April sunshine
lays heavy on my face and shoulders
a reminder of the deadline to decide
what will define the depths of my soul

Le jardin d'amour
is damp with ethereal beauty
crafted painstakingly,
a monument to the
richness of life.

I am caught between
the regal, seductive violet
and the fresh, handsome pine
unable to choose,
unable to let go

The horizon, littered with the two
offers no aid to
the impossible choice
that lies ahead

I stand on a cliff at the edge of the universe,
just barely kissing the sky,
breathe them both deeply into my heart
and jump.
