The Garden

blank page

it is no longer a

--blank page--

can't erase eraser marks

and they can see how

--hard--

the pencil pressed

into the paper like

dirty footprints in the snow

--melting--

and it just looks so

--wrong--

not perfect not right

not supposed to be there

--but--

maybe some day

heaven will take pity and

let the floodgates

--open--

and everything will be

--new--

and

--maybe--

if you want

if it's okay

we can start over

--again--
