Blossom
The musk of charring wood permeates
Staining the sunset with peacock trails of watercolor ash
Forgetful clouds lie in wait
The bark blackens and curls
Crackling threaded between a train whistle
—
Echoes of laughter ringing in the leaves
The train rolls on into the distance
The curtain of nightfall in tow
Car Wheels; the rural ocean
Lapping at the curb
—
Somewhere one window is illuminated
A golden square on a darkened canvas
—
The silhouette is stoic and staring
Profiled in the glow
Listening to each string
(Eyes closed in reverence)
Wondering when
The first person ever had the nerve
To play.
