Blue Blood Tree

The day I met the Blue Tree, I was struck with awe… I thought this tree is not of this world… it blossoms in the Southern hemisphere in November, their spring season… while those places never see the snow of winter, they hear instead the surreal symphony in blue of the trees’ blossom. I moved from by birth place in the Northern hemisphere, to the antipode and rented a house on Jakaranda street, to live under the spell of the blue trees. However, this street is often lonely as melancholy sweeps its granite pavers.
