with kitten tail blooms

that can cool
an angry heart

of faith

in sunshine

lift your head
anyway

so many clouds, a driving rain
a storm was grown
upon the tree

could we meet
in the space
between the thorns
Dichotomy
without contradiction
arrived the second bloom
interpretation upheld by the past
