Neighborhood Walk

NEIGHBORHOOD WALK


strolling posthaste past neighbors

a walk to kickstart spring

“too fast drivers”

“lovely day”

woman on cell

no fence, defense, boundary

wave, keep on moving

witch-hazel shrub, same as last year

those lovely crepe myrtles

brisk movement, brisk cold

little pooch on a leash

climb the hill that i drive

a sudden dash for the hose

as the wind kicks up

a bush on fire

my neighbor quenches

what could have been

a catastrophe
