A cloud of intoxication
slowing our steps,
or mine at least;
Gathering in the nectar
the aerosol of fragrance
breathing springtime in
The white and purple
different layers of scents
matching somehow the colors;
Richly, urgently, calling me
to linger in the dew of
fragrance
raining, falling down on me

“Lilac
Air - reprise”
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
