Ignorance


When the flowers crinkled…
At the mere sight of you,
I swallowed hard…
Hoping you’d not think it’s a fluke.

When the leaves bled…
At the instance of your touch,
I held back my tears…
As if to swallow my own pain.

When the stems sagged…
At the sight of your glare,
I closed my eyes…
Hoping you'd caught on to the clue.

When the roots dried out…
At the twist of your heels,
I opened my eyes wide…
As if to accept your total ignorance.
