Pink Cherry
July 24, 2021
Cherry seeds plant in secret
Picnickers drop their cherry pits
Sweet pinky red luscious juice fruit
Opens to blue sky light.
Sometimes
You say a word
To nobody in particular
On a day
Leaving a wordseed in a person’s ear canal
Springing to life
And you’ll never know
A word is small
A word can fall
A word.
Turn down the avenue of the words,
Sweet words you’ve given me—
Turn straight down this avenue, turn left, baby,
You will find a tree in full bloom—
Cherry child
Pink cherries
Blooming.
