And with each gate

that I’ve walked through —

the choices made —

I’ve made a slew —

regrets build up

like growing vines

to grip my past

in fading lines —

But of regrets

of growing green

I’ll make salad

my conscience cleaned

In an Alpine mountainscape

Gaia’s green skin peels away

and her grey ancient bones

are exposed to the deep blue sky

There in the thin air

I feel her softly beating heart

as she waves gently

with her warm buttercup fingers
