cherry blossoms

August 30, 2017 by Michael Guerin

I.

beneath a cherry
tree soft with early buds you
gave your love to me.

II.

you cannot hurry
spring — cherry blossoms only
blossom when they’re due.

III.

as a crow cries out
one single blossom petal
reluctantly falls.

IV.

a cherry blossom
lost on the breeze nestles a
moment at my feet.

V.

cold nights naked trees —
only now is your absence
intolerable.
