Emeralds
April afternoon;
A surprisingly cool wind
For this time of year
The garden's are holding back
Waiting for the earth to warm
He thinks about it.
He decides not to tell her.
What good would it do?
***
Only a short time ago
The whole area was farms
Rows of lemon trees
Blooming in the gentle wind,
Warm even at night
Her replacement doesn't show
So she takes a second shift
***
At the hospital
In the emergency room
They wait patiently
No one notices the moon
Full in the crisp and clear sky
He just says, "Hello."
She spent a lot of money
At the hairdresser
***
Crowds gather at the new store
For its Grand Opening Sale
Even though it's cold
And even though it's snowing
It's still beautiful
A garland of emeralds
With some semi-precious stones
