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
