“Cherry Trees” (2018) – Chapbook – Gloria Mannazzu – 3/15

CHERRY TREES

The elements are in place
you have chosen well
the items in your life.

You don’t anticipate
you don’t think that you know
you act without fear.

I am proud
all the elements are in place
I can blossom
together with the cherry trees.
