honeysuckle

[witness_light]

a slow white swirl
of fragrant
petal
fluttering
to the gutter

i love such small
creatures
for a moment
of light
caught in my throat,
my heartbeat

days later she wilts
into the sidewalk
where my steps pass
over her brown
corpse

oh, i know you love me
falling as i do
before your face
for a moment
in the spring.

This kind of imagery and thinking really reminds me of Japan. I think you would enjoy the sakura festivals, where everyone is looking at the cherry blossoms.
