blooming jasmine

June 17, 2019 by Michael Guerin

a single drop of dew
heavy with the weight
of the world
hangs like a pearl
from a green fingertip of leaf.

i wade through
morning mist drunk from wine
and jasmine perfume
as rivulets of sweat
slide single-file

down the curve of my neck.
transfixed, i wait
suspended in time
as a single drop of dew
seems to hang

in midair milliseconds
before falling
to earth.
