Pruning Time

The shears ice through dead wood of the almond tree. This is profitable, to cut away what has already gone, to make room for the new. I close the shears, Put them away for another season as I struggle to feel my serum of nutrients, the bud unfolding. The dormancy has passed. I feel the nine year-old Awake to the song of birds.
