While the frugal celery strove to tower, and the conscientious pepper struggled for dignity, I was busy admiring the way my healthy-rosebud-complexion spread so evenly over my satin polished skin, taut over my luscious rotundity.
I loved it there in my darkness. I relished the warmth of the moist lover enveloping my swelling belly.
How was I to know I wore green flags on my head?
But I have never been angry. I have no regrets.
When they pulled me from the ground the earth kissed me goodbye.

It is true.
I have squandered my life.
While the frugal celery
strove to tower,
and the conscientious pepper
struggled for dignity,
I was busy admiring the way
my healthy-rosebud-complexion
spread so evenly over
my satin polished skin,
taut over my
luscious rotundity.
I loved it there
in my darkness.
I relished the warmth
of the moist lover
enveloping my swelling belly.
How was I to know
I wore green flags on my head?
But I have never been angry.
I have no regrets.
When they pulled me
from the ground
the earth kissed me goodbye.
I love this so very much! Thank you Katherine
