n/a2

if not for you or me
then the infiniteness of challenge,
deliberation, destruction-reconstitution;
the lack of symetry the orbit
of love contains.
the idea never to be explained
but fits in each of us
like pit in peach
&protrudes as needles from cactus
haphazardly wounding those in reach--
this dangerous thing
if not for me from you
then
i'm sorry about the wound of heart
where i slid through.

Excellent flow.
"fits in each of us
like pit in peach"
and the last two lines are lucid and simple and yet creatively unique. Wow!

~ your talent is awe-inspiring, monsieur steeven... ~ the peach image is astounding... and this piece is brilliant... and moving... it's christmas here (in india) already... and all i'm hoping for is that love abounds... and reaches us... as it is meant to...
