one by one, when
you are most likely
to be unsuspecting,
I make them –

these petal-gestures,
trifling bright,
scraps with some
perhaps deeper meaning

one day – maybe –
you’ll be struck
by revelation,
with unexpected math

Let us
Forever
Take care
What we reveal
Until
Breath held
We take the plunge
