#6: origami (bird/flower)
to begin
is to acknowledge the flat
blank canvas always
of morning.
to proceed
is to give myself
once more into your
hands.
fold me lovingly
in upon myself
crease upon crease
by the nail of your thumb
i become:
cranes and apple blossoms
peace and maybe love
perfect useless—ornamental
and unfailingly:
broken
at each point you
have touched.

This is my favourite one of the series. But there are still two more to come.
