the gift of love

i set the gift on the table.
perfectly wrapped

in gold shiny paper.
a white ribbon,

a bold green bow.

the whole thing sparkles
in the lights
of

Christmas.
i pick it up, i bring it
close.

what luck i have found.

i'm in love with whatever
has been wrapped

so beautifully for me,

but i'm afraid these days to
open anything up,

or anyone. i put the scissors
down,

 i'd rather not know
what lies

inside. i'd rather not see.
