no blossoms

by Jason Alan

there were no blossoms

                                    in her hair

so fair

           for it was she who was the flower

why add even one second

                                      to a blissfully perfect hour

there were no blossoms

                                    in her yard

her elegance barred

                               any life that grew

                               unless it was br oken and scarred

there were no blossoms

                                    in her eyes

                                    the radiance allowed no room

there were no blossoms

                                   in her belly

                                   just a barren w0mb
