CHERRYBLOSSOM TATTOO

Half made up, all the way crazy, shirt undone and a hairband for a husband, this bedrock to the lake's
slippery as hell, love is a one way street back in town and it is a slick path down to the water

Spring is no lover but it comes quick and that's how she wants it, she's got a cherryblossom tattoo on
her back, the way she breathes is rough as bark, sexy, very thick, choked with new leaves and ready for more

White blossom, there's an old white blossom in her eyes

The lake glows dark and is forgiving and yes, she sits silent and waits, something's moving down there.
something hungry and moving and wild

A waterbug, a leaf suspended, the quick leap

        George Wallace
