Orchard Hill Rd
It's my neighborhood
Yet I happen to be here
First time in this spot
in 14 years
As the name shows
The road has a grove of apple trees
Two in front and hundreds behind the stone fence
Stop my brisk walk
Look up at one immaturely green and one maturely reddish
Every life stage is beautiful...
I was supposed to be at the store
at 1:00pm
and so resumed my walk
The road is white
Nobody but my shadow
No sound but the cicadas,
and the song, "Solsbury Hill"
by Peter Gabriel
in my heart
