Promise Me

By Kara Peter

 

The crabapple trees, arthritic spinsters in the winter

have reprised their roles as brides

plump and delicate in ivory/ fuchsia/ coral.

 

The wind whispers subtleties

and spring considers summer

the way a child leans over the sidewalk’s warm breath

and ponders anthills:

 

very intensely

and then not at all.

 
Kara Peter is an 11th grade student who is inspired by thunderstorms, mountains and good books. She lives within her imagination.
