I Am a Plum Tree

Cherry Hall Plum Tree

Am I the only one
who celebrates
your coming
and going?
Am I the only one
who transplants
and shares
your offspring?
Am I the only one
who has tasted
your perfect,
Damson fruit?
Am I the only one
who dreads
and fears
your passing?
Am I?
As far as I know,
I am.
I fear
I am.

    You wear
    your coat so well,
    I thought, my hat upon
    my head

    No one even noticed
    what I did: a poem

    gathering bloom

    Some flowers
    are so frequent,
    we forget
