Zuzu's Petals

delicate yellow softness
-------the hidden reality
--------------of love

we poke fingers in our little pockets
to see if they are there

what kind of world do we live in?

sometimes it is the cold hard ice
of frozen fists fighting for
an inch of self in a loud brassy bar

sometimes it is the gentle snowfall
of open hands giving
a pound of self in a neighbourhood pub

the moon shines brightly in a synthetic backdrop

and his hands are empty

but in our hearts we see them
