peel


the black cherry girltree
that lives at the front of this house
opens herself up each winter
as the frosts pull and heave
at her old skin

as the layers pull back
and reveal an even deeper richness
i wonder what her heart must be like

    I think she has a cheery heart.

    impossible to ever know but this is no reason to give up trying to understand.

    The black cherry girltree is a truly beautiful matriarch.
