Spring palette


Some nights such as these
in Spring
the crispest ones forebode
dramatic scenes and
will only be appeased
with warm words, the genteel kind
unlike those dark corridors linking
hollow rooms to alternate realities

harmonium found itself
outside sound and dancing
in full color in the deepest
dark.
