Some Trees Valentine

On some bare trees
The flowers burst out
Before the leaves
An extraterrestrial
Advance over the old
Way of doing things
They reassert
The urgency of infancy
As if the soul came first
And the body as afterthought
Merely trembled in the branches 
As if the medicine arrived
Before the sickness
Only spring can cure
