Cherry blossoms
December 22, 2022
Sugary and saccharine
Ethereal and hyaline
Like dainty dresses wreathed from air
Secrets pressed into their petals
Nature’s sentries sent from heaven
Flawless little buds of beauty
She loses herself in their spellbinding scent
Feasts her eyes on their impossible beauty
Reaches her hand to caress them
You should have heard her scream
When the scorpions crawled out from under the petals

inspired by the following line in Macbeth: " full of scorpions is my mind"
