Lilac and Lavender

Lilac and lavender

dusty rose, cotton candy

a mix of the colors

of the cold sky this morning

waking slowly,

yellow coming up

the blue sky sanguine

not giving way to morning

new poem “Lilac and Lavender”

taking Erica to Pembroke Academy

and Shanequa to Three Rivers School

7:06 to 7:24a

=====

Lilac Air – reprise

A cloud of intoxication

slowing our steps

or mine at least

gathering in the nectar

breathing springtime in

The white and purple

different shades of scents

matching somehow the colors

richly, urgently, calling me

to linger in the dew of fragrance

falling down on me

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
