Photo-poetry: Invisible Spring


LIME

                                                    This is what growing must look like:                                           
                                                        Sassy, iridiscent, acidly aware.                                                    
                                                      Let me too jump headfirst into this pond:                                          
                                                           when I resurface, I will spit
                                                                    color.                    
                                 
                               
                                                                                       


















MUSTARD

Shearing the clouds,                                                               
a frozen mathematical explosion                                             
of mustard.                                                                          
Meanwhile, deep beneath:
bulbed daffodils smile in their sleep
#colorkindredspirits


SILVER

The walls dream of spring during artic nights;
in the day, they tattoo wistful wishes
upon themselves.
The brick is cold to touch:
the flowers are not.


 POPPY

Lush poppy curlicues
gleefully defy the gray winter censorship.
Colors furtively bloom in pockets all over:
only if you knew where to look.
