an April head of hair
in dispositions of wind--
institutional greens
swept away by exponential
growth.
outright wiry (mind be still).
when color roasts its
pigment strange things
happen.
as balloons loosely held
by children,
with ice cream dangling
from their chins.
rains begin to sputter in
afterglows of building
warmth.
dogs rub their spines on
the grasses of parks, tongues
limply aside in pardons
of speech.
raving aliveness.
