091: Inconsequential

Shall I paint my existence,
with strokes broad and bold,
the brush dripping Apollo's gleam,
to chasten the blue canvas,
to sprout forth life fresh and verdant?

Should a gardener prune away
a leaf whithering and browning,
will it from the stem bleed,
perhaps a red passionate enough,
capable, too, of embracing death?
