The cherry tree has popped
overnight, more greeting
than bloom as a traveler
lately arrived. Inside,
philodendron thirsts more
regularly, the urgency
of water in summer.
Climate change as imminent
as a long overdue meeting
impends. A mother
puts away her son's
childish things and waits
for a signal from the sun-
scorched earth, wind
whipping around corners
where stillness used to be.

The Work of the Weekend
I tend to get overly emotional about work. Invest heavily in how well the job I'm doing is perceived. So I'm glad God invented the weekend.
Today the cherry tree is near full bloom, a symbol for figuring out how to do things efficiently, how to let the blossoms come and drop like confetti. How to take those long drinks from deep down and bring them up to all the parts.
The tree outside my window, in front of the house on the road in the neighbor, city, continent, planet, beyond. Telescope and microscope out/in to what's important. Focus and zoom.
