Cherry tree branches

Cracks in the pavement
Look like rivers approaching
an estuary.

Natural beauty,
the shapes and forms wandering,
sanctifies the road.

Cherry trees branches,
A wide canopy of leaves,
Blossom blows away

Sung geometry,
held still and made eternal,
Catches at my throat.

  1. I remember an earlier version of this but cannot recall the differences! There’s an uneasy juxtaposition between the static forms and the movement implicit in rivers and blown blossom.
