Perspective

When I saw them
white, many, light, lithe,
i called them
beautiful, bright, divine.

When I saw their eggs
black, uncountable, menacing,
I called them
unwanted, evil.

When I saw the leaves
eaten, lacey, holey,
I called you.

Beauty is fickle.
Vegetables are fragile.
We are in this life together.
