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