the color green

little enis and the table toppers

sang i’ll get over you

when the grass grows over me

it is the song

playing in my

mind

as i stand upon the

lawn

mowed with

gasoline and fire

day lilies

emerge

as

i

remember

to absorb

hope

given as a gift

within sunlight

i choose to

live

to

feel

spring

for screaming

and death

are luxuries

for those

without children

to grow

into healthy

flowers

i

thank

the universe

for all of it

the good and

the bad

my stem strengthened

by hurricane force winds

my roots held

i didn’t jump through

that last hoop

wouldn’t lie

and say love

never grew here

it was once eden

as

everything

turns

the color green

inevitable spring

i still

see his eyes

twill always be

until

the

last

time

i

close

mine

god

forgive

us

our

collective

sins

as

i

forgive

him

and

i

forgive

me
