Found Incidental Pertinence 1

S O D I F F E R E N T -Kay Ryan

A tree is lightly connected
to its blossums.
For a tree it is
a pleasant sensation
to be stripped
of what's white and winsome.
If a big wind comes,
any nascent interest in fruit
scatters. This is different
from humans, for whom
what is un-set matters
so oddly---as though
only what is lost held possibility.


From Flamino Watching, Kay Ryan
