Sapulence:
A reflection on priorities
cherry blossoms don't matter n
or do emerging leaves
branches are of no conse
quence nor the trunks of twist
ed trees -
it is the sap within that is nec
tar: of that succulence i aspi
re to drink.
o sapulence of spring!
o syrup whose nectar
transforms my flesh
from a pupae-grub
into a cicada
which not only flies
but sings!
