The question

Of whether any cherry trees

Around the lake

With the fountain

And the geese

Had bloomed

Was enough

To get me out of bed

And breathing again

I tried asking people

But they didn’t know

I was asking them

To remind me

There would be light again

Leaves again pink flowers

So I took myself to find

The answer to my question

Was:

Not

Yet

These things take time
