Periwinkle Boy Poem by Eric Roxas

Periwinkle Boy



I am no better-

Than an impatient

Petal of a hillside periwinkle

Hurrying to break away

From its stems

And roots

Just

To falter

And mingle freely

With mountain dusts.

Till it lays

Motionlessly

Over Earth’s open mouth.

I am impermanent.

Just another momentary failure

In your life.

Ever-deceitful.

I am sorry,

For being a 'boy'
