Sitting under a tree A cherry blossom worm falls on me I agree, with the worm.

The worm obeys Nature "Never mind your mind," She says.

I cannot disagree With the worm. I obey Nature, too.

Who are you? Give me a reason to come to you! Diviner of birth and vegetation Many yourself to yourself

Break your soil for seeds to grow Break me so I can know Pure Mind inside Your Nature

My One becomes Two Who each become one of you Who are we but variations on a theme

So kiss me! I am the Wailing Wall, the Black Stone, I have lips for all your ideas

I ask only that you come. So when you arrive, I can leave. Illusion. Rest. I remove myself.

She parts not, One Truth From Another

 

On Twitter Evanson describes herself as an "afro sufi space poet".

 

Consider the analogy (the extended metaphor)... What do you know about worms? What is their function? How do they reproduce? What attributes of the worm does Evanson admire? How does this image of the worm differ from Blake's?

What do you know about cherry trees and cherry blossoms? Look up allusions you do not know: What is the Wailing Wall? What is the Black Stone?

What is the meaning of the title and how does it relate to the poem?
