My love for you

Little bits of paper like white flags

decorate the garden

surrendering

The sunlight fades the letters gone

I tried to write down the measure

of this love that paper could not hold

I wanted to say everything

all at once

The paper burst into a thousand pieces

And little bits of paper like flags

decorated the whole garden

You will find little pieces of the paper

for a long time scattered in my sentences

greeting you at the door

and when I fall silent

the words perhaps are finding new ground

and the garden is laughing

at the pieces of paper

that have so much to say

yet burst into a thousand pieces
