Black Raspberry Blooms – v2

In the lee of the schoolyard

bushes shrouded still

in the shadows of early dawn

lavender purple lilacs,

unopened blossoms

dark shading, color, just like

rich black raspberry ice cream

with the rising of the light,

softening, brightening colors

from that darkness to pale lilac
