The Picking of Beauty

 

I have to insist.

Will you forgive me?

I was trying to think of love and flowers.

And I was surprised.

Saw love plucking flowers.

To pluck is an euphemism for killing.

Even if out of love.

Or out of love.

An ugly verb.

 

I changed the subject and the object.

Of what I was thinking.

Now kindness is a vase.

 

You looked at my brand new gift.

You looked at me.

My eyes followed your look.

I was dizzy there looking at me.

You went away.

I looked your way.

Down at the vase.

And found your love.

Not your kindness.
