Not Really Speaking of Apricots
Cut from the tree
they die so soon
the apricot blossoms.
I want to beg Love
to take the shears
from my hands.
Every blossom a beauty,
so fragile, so full
of perfect potential.
But any grower knows
how essential it is
to prune the limbs,
that the secret
to the finest fruits
is not let all of them grow.
The poet reading in Abiquiu
