Heavy gray sky sits
Atop the city center,
An ill fitting wig.

Fields of bright yellow
Grace the hills. Glow in the sun.
Raeps seed, canola.

Purple and yellow
Lilacs, wisteria and
Raps punctuate green.

Thursday holiday
Feels like Sunday, Confusion
Reigns, routines upset.

Delicate, fragrant
Many colored lilacs poke
Over walls, line streets.

Numbing shot, fat lip
Incessant drilling, scraping
Breathe and meditate.

Pink flowers appear
Almost overnight. Lovely
Rhododendron blooms.

Creamy floppy ears,
Big brown eyes in gentle faces
Syncopated bells.

Gray, fog, sun breaks thorough
Illumninates snowy alps
Rolling velvet green hills.

Ancient structures of
Another time, dark wood, stained
Glass. Green, green courtyards.
