Your Jewel Plums
Your jewel plums
are glowing green and growing fat,
only a few already
tinged with orangey red.
Oh Ciruela tree,
how do you do it?
In this only moment there is,
in this continuing
moment of presence,
I honor you, Ciruela tree.
Like a single
accordion fold
separating two rooms,
the moment continues
to stretch, to pull out.
And I continue to honor you
dear companion tree.
And I wonder, do you know
what room
is on the other side?
