A cloud of
intoxication
flooding my senses
slowing our steps
(or mine at least)
gathering in the
nectar
breathing
springtime in
Whites and purples
different shades
of bouquets
as if colors
themselves emitted aromas
richly, urgently,
calling me
to linger in the dew
of fragrance
perfumes falling
down on me

written about our walks to school last week
because of the lilacs on the way
Pembroke Village School
Suncook, NH

Lilac Air
Sweet,
intoxicating, alluring
spreading out onto
the playground
the bush changing
the air
soft, subtle, a
presence
lilac air at the
side of the school
calling, enticing
the passersby
to linger, to
drink
aerosol nectar
sweet, lively
spring perfume
a perfect
fragrance,
rich with memory
under a cloudy
blue sky
warm this
Wednesday afternoon
Living bouquet,
a balance of
purple, of green
set off against,
before
red brick of the
school
