CITYSCAPE

The colors shifted
Rainbowesque splashes
Smoothly flowing

The temptation
To touch, to alter
To interfere with

The wind’s oily brush
Directing the rain’s movements
Teasing the tarmac canvas
With its majestic strokes

Red and green flashes
Confounding the simplicity
Of a rush hour
Water color
