The jewels
know at this time, backwards
time-travel is still
prohibited.
The jewels
in the crown
of your corner lot garden—
all those uncountable,
charitably pink-
white cherry blossoms—
when nettled and nagged
by soft enduring rain
eventually
will sigh and settle—
to clog your storm drains
and highlight every
last little
crack in your sidewalk.
