A She sleeps in the tree’s shade, another plant
BÂ Â green with fruit, her limbs resting in dirt,
AÂ Â red crown ready to pluck. The world will chant
BÂ Â her name now, crows roosting close, a flirt
BÂ Â away from dusk. Does the empty yard hurt?
CÂ Â The sun used to set on all her sisters.Â
BÂ Â Oh, dear Shadow, you no longer need search.
C  They’ll run to you, confused at your mister:
C Tell us, they’ll ask you, were your dreams open blisters?
oh, sweet japanese tree,Â
