A living presence,
growing,
sweet,
intoxicating, alluring
spreading out onto
the playground
blossoms, the bursting
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
juxtaposed, set
apart, soft colors,
against the solid
wall, backdrop
warm red brick of
the old school;
cool air of spring,
an inviting presence,
wrapping around us,
arms entwined
reaching for us,
out of a sense of love
