Oragami

I just got an invitation.
About paper.
But.
Not on paper.
Electons dancing.
On my screen.
Solstice celebration.
Brunette.
How soon
can my broken heart
my poor worthless heart
heal?
I need
a mutant healing factor.
My skeleton is already
adamantium laced.
I'm still standing.

I know
oragami
a little.
I know
paper
a little.
I want to know
if
paper
would like to be
folded
into my life.

But I must not
do the wrong thing
I have just done
for love
because
paper
like my Mariko
who is no longer with me
paper
is delicate
and I
am too strong
sometimes
for my own good

I might get to practice
oragami

And if not
I saw
the summer
arrive.
a new
summer.

I want to dream
of
oragami
but I musn't
not yet
not now
maybe not ever.

slow.
careful.
zen.
effortless.
oragami.

wolverine
though a madman
on his bad days
knows both
the hard
and
the soft
style.
I need to learn
the soft.

there should never be
holding back.
there should be
drawing out.
not shouted proclamations.
quiet
acceptance

slow.
careful.
zen.
effortless.
true.
