the world would have no colors
because green is not really a color
but a condition of being
over which color triumphs
with its scents of joy and valor
lingering aura of the earth itself
which is why the ancients painted
all their beautiful marble statues
to bring life to the dead stone
while we prefer them naked
at home in the world before shame
persisted into conscience
and compliance
we prefer their ruins
to what would have been their glory
for without them there would be
no us no story
