The wild arrangement
of blossom on the bough-
is loves grief,
when I look at you now.
Counting the beats,
Counting the slow heart beats,
The bleeding to death of time in slow heart beats,
Wakeful they lie.

Hi Tony,

Yes, that's nice. Fallen is an odd title, when the blossom si just emerging.

Cheers,
John
