Green wave

Carrying all your
Worthwhile thoughts and feelings
In an eerily thin green bag.

Your life flows through
Its folds and bends,
Like water streaming
In a roadside gutter.

Don't you worry?
About the vulnerable
Thin layer
Between the cold outside,

And the stormy waves
Of your emotional self
Inside this flimsy wrapper.

Brown paper bag

Warm evening light is
Protecting your inner thoughts
From the eyes around.

The gentle chirping
Of folding, bending paper
Offers a soothing space.

For existence 
Of things too tender
To show,
To tell.

Only you will know.
Only you can see.
