Unexpected
and pleasantly surprising.
Carried into Monday morning
full of February sunshine
and the anticipation of spring blossoming;
Petals unfurling and
darling buds of May-
Rough winds do shake
what we mildly maintain
and what we never saw coming
Into one glorious sidewalk tornado.
What's been done and undone swirls together
against an urban graffiti sky while
the brick stacks out back bake in the burn
of setting suns and longings left unspoken.
