A Sigh into the Present Air...

things would have been better
if left untouched
like some women opting to
become virgins
not having seen any man
nor thought
of masculine symbols

like nature
the forest would have been better
if its trees are left
uncut

the weeds tall like grown up natives
the grasses spreading
without the
artificiality of
the manicure
of the mower
like a river flooding the land
overfilling banks

words would have been better
if not uttered
like raw emotions like
sushi
that you savor with your tongue

how delicious to see
all these things
and feelings
unadulterated by explanations
or justifications

of reason that does not want to be overpowered
by the innocence of ignorance
no apple on the esophagus

none about analysis
just plain description of what is there
nothing about
additions
or conceptualizations

i would have wanted
my love to be like this

but look at it now
this heart folded like an origami
deceiving you with a stork

feelings cut into pieces of
graffiti of pent up emotions

what they ought to be
what they must or
should have been

dado joints fitting into
rules
or universal concepts
lacking now
the originality of
truth...
