Something from the Cherry Tree and the Week's Daily Poems

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.
