Blossom gave her cell phone
To a women’s shelter, she
Didn’t need it anymore; she
Walked away– black and blue.
Her cowboy treated her like
He treated the horses– caged.
She dreamt of cherry blossoms
In bloom, their touch… gentle,
Unlike his… Awake, she ran fast
While he slept– black and blue
Till the sun came out, at the park,
She reached out… the blossoms
Feel as gentle as her dreams…
