perfuming days

chalkboard.
-
White tulips tight and virginal
heave and drape
at the mildest suggestion
of heat;
trembling cherry blossoms
their fleeting beauty
a wake-up call to consciousness;
quince blossoms
begging contemplation
of life’s potentials
bitter as the fruit
gossamer as the flower;
a magnolia branch
tall, isolated
pilfered
from an abandoned lot
its leaves as magnanimous
as its bear paw of a flower.
-
Tinkling gutters
keep seasonal time
the delighted screech
of drenched birds,
glistening citrus
the soggy longing of
the camellia flower
enveloped in winter.
