: Wisteria Burst

wisteria burst—
a row of kids cross-legged
along the playground
|
dw |

|
birds sing
in drunken treetops
|

below their bridal suite
two foxes
resting on the lawn
|
wb |
|
|
he'll always keep it,
her long fluffy scarf
|
dw |
|
|
cool shadow
of the spreading chestnut
over the hot past
|
sd |
|
|
as the messenger waits
faces tremble
|
wb |
|
|
on Noah's Ark
all cases packed
ready to leave
|
dw |
|
|
past on the mast,
first shivers on the ocean
|
sd |
|
|
crimson dahlia sways
as creaking swings
grow silent
|
wb |
|
|
on the wooden bench
the old man's presence
|
dw |
|
|
wires twitter
as the sun sinks
shadows on the hills
|
sd |
|
|
a yellow car speeds
beneath an icy moon
