A Puddle of Petals

Among the grates and the heat and cement, despite all the washing and cleaning intent, in just the right light and on just the right street, a puddle of petals may water your feet. Amazing Building FirePlug showers smoldering sidewalk with Cherry Petals

A Popsickle Day

Image
Once upon a time, long before now, When the grass was as green as a lollypop~ Off we went down the sidewalk edge, looking for a piece of eternity. It was a popsicle day, With trees saturated in summer~ Sidewalks so hot you needed shoes, You could fry an egg if you wanted, they said. We were warned of course, about crossing the street, We were threatened, coerced and cautioned~ Of course we crossed it anyway, As we scattered away that diamond day.
