My Mediocrity

Since I cannot write about cherry blossoms
Like the Japanese 
I write about silence of pine trees
On wind's lips

Since I don't have a marble bust in my garden
Like the Romans
I write about the sensuous ripples spilling out of your neckline
In language of mud

Since I don't have wizardry of words
Like Shakespeare
I write about your colorful madness
On a floating autumn leaf
