Hanami #4: Under a Pink Sky (Easter Monday)

Hanami #3: Under a Blue Sky (Easter Monday)

Hanami #2: Under a Gray Sky (Good Friday)

Hanami, April 9th

#1.
How many pass by
this bus shelter? In a rush,
blind to the pink blooms.

#2.
I sit on the bench
and wait. Not for the next bus -
but for sakura.

#3.
The buses come and go.
I'll stay until ten thousand
pink petals drift down.

Sakura

The first of the season & the prettiest pink. If I were a bee I'd be buzzing in ecstasy all around this pendulous florescence.
