the man.

the man
he was telling me
warning me

he told me 
not to touch
because nothing is gentle enough

the man
he said
he knew everything and even knew that i did not know

anything
like the seed
inside the fruit of a plant that has not yet flowered

i do not 
fear
the cold, the cold fears me

i am 
the lover
of the man who knew it all, then understood

nothing is worth knowing.
