Awakened understanding
struggles.

These days
I get easily lost
in anything!
Stripes on a blouse
as absorbing
as ants.
It is all beautiful
but where in all that
am I?

This red ribbon
parting my diary
more brilliant
than anything
I have seen before.
certainly
more perfect
than I.
With this
red satin ribbon
sparkles in the sun
the world begins
and ends.
And there really
is no need in it
for I.
