Once, to stay again a steady thrumming in one's mind
peace with the shortness of the world,
choice of wanting eden or being content with the grey

love, what stream that appears to flow to an ocean
but breaks upon grey stone and the brown earth

love for two who see with blinds
piercing light that blankets all
feels warm, no known designs

what best position
to be green, growing, sprawling vine

or better to lay veins exposed, broad leaf
strewn

how does light play?
