Combing And Coming -

Noise and surf
blown over, 
I remember 

Shade of flowers,
they look very mismatched
in my corner here

These city streets
ebb and flow like the sea,
let me

A close shave
of thighs, 
my window's je t'aime

I must have walked out — 
my nose choked 
~with the rain~

Seconds pause.
please remember
the seconds of flowers.
