You offer

me again
a puzzle
your hand
an extended
enigma
something
gold or green
something blue
a hint of violet

Should I take
up the pieces
of your mystery?
count myself
lucky you
proffered
such a gift?

Or should I
ignore
the gesture?
allow myself
the pleasures
of not knowing?
of letting
the mystery
rest without
answer?

You offer

Can we not
just let
the unknown
be?
