Slices of Me

I place before you
this  book..
..... of my poems...
thin portions of me
served on paper slices
..and I anguish..
in my attempt...
to have you realize  
the color of my pages
as I struggled to reveal
these fragile shards of existence
and with flushed hesitation
spilled the fragments
of my soul..... to you
..could you hear me.....
..... talking
....in the far corner......
with my face to the wall
....I said.. "I loved you"....

and you are the warm breath
.....to my essence
as you hold in your hands
these many faded hues of me
and colorize all things imaginable...
........with me
