some deepen
in purple, some glow
in crimson,
brief as the tinkling of beads
blossoms storm through the dusk
light and shadows
flicker through clustering blossoms,
suddenly storming,
the flowers tumble in torrents —
painful splendor
I listen to the pulse of a life
different from mine
in my womb,
and with it I can hear
my own lonely heart
