A living presence,
growing,
sweet,
intoxicating, alluring
spreading out onto
the playground
the blossoms, bushes
changing the air, its texture,
soft, subtle, a
presence, enveloping
lilac air at the
side of the school
calling, enticing
each passersby
To linger, to drink,
to soak in
aerosol nectar, a
drug ready
sweet, lively
spring perfume
a perfect
fragrance, enticing
rich with memory,
with color
under a cloudy blue
sky, comforting
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;
cool air of spring,
a happy presence,
wrapping around us,
arms entwined
reaching for us,
out of a sense of love
