The Plum Trees Jon Ballard
I say, "The plum trees are blossoming," Aware of having never used such a phrase In January with any seriousness, but this Is Mexico. And I notice that a general browning Of the landscape doesn't deny the apple tree Its prodigious, violet blooms. I'm warm In the midday sun-comfortably warm- The way I imagine Adam must have been On his curtailed tour of Eden, long Before Eve could be heard lamenting, "The plum trees are bare and dying." |
