Just a few things

she needed to know:

Would he be jealous

if he found her

kissing the sun?

How would he handle

overhearing

whispered conversations

with the moon?

Could he tolerate

sharing her hands

with the soil?

Would he feel inadequate

if the wind touched her

in ways he could not?

And what if he caught her

with limbs tangled

in and around

tall handsome trees?
