A
cloud of intoxication
flooding
my senses
slowing
our steps
(or
mine at least)
savoring
the moment
gathering
in the nectar
the
aerosol of fragrance
breathing
springtime in
my
lung full of the fragrance
Whites
and purples
different
shades of the bouquets
as
if colors themselves emitted aromas
painting
the sky with their shades
richly,
urgently, calling me
wooing
me, intoxicating,
to
linger in the dew of fragrance
to
drink of these spirits
perfumes
falling down on me
raining
as I walk

“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
