Artwork Description:
Portland Waterfront Blossoms
I went down to
mingle my breath
with the breath
of the cherry blossoms.
There were photographers:
Mothers arranging their
children against
gnarled old trees
a couple, hugging,
asks a passerby
to snap them
like that,
so that their love
will always be caught
between two friendships:
ours the friendship
of the cherry trees.
cherry blossoms scatter–
snap the buck’s antlers
come off
without regret
they fall and scatter…
cherry blossoms
cherry blossoms
fall fall
enough to fill my belly
cherry trees in bloom–
warmed by a brazier
blossom-gazing
