Budding of a Cherry Tree
by Saulander Evans
Silent musing of past existential relations
Mind, body, and soul drowning in microbial essence
That blossomed into a mushroom cloud of
Demoralization, reduction to nothing more
Than the sludge of remnants left behind
After eons of poignant turbulence
The tide of change ebbed ever closer
Lapping against the shoreline of insufficiency
Filling in the abyss with the catalytic
Converter of my future prolificacy
And the expurgation of gray matter and physiology
That enlightened my body to sensuality
The desert-dry thirst found the oasis
Transforming, through hydration, the withered shell of
Ancient scars of inadequacy, replacing the suffocating
Radioactive cloud of disease-filled abhorrence
With the budding of a cherry tree, whose blossoms
Long for rapturous strokes of your masculinity

I love the cherry tree’s simplicity. It makes a great counterpoint to the litany of all that has gone before.
