our love was like a cherry tree  
whose flowers fall like snow  
through their pink haze we failed to see  
as crow by evil crow  
took refuge upon every branch  
until at last, their murder's stench  
each hungry, sharpened beak --  
misfortune's what they seek --  
until at last, its fruit decayed  
the tree now naked and afraid  
produced just one more berry

I reach for it, though wary
