The Second Coming

Chartreuse moss insinuates itself into cracked brick as leprous eucalyptus line the path, fallen leaves contorted into coral spines on weathered terra cotta. Traveling between the trees I stumble upon one sinewy stalk in a lithe tuft heralding the second coming of a lily. May's slate gray muffles the air until I hear the chameleon trill of a mockingbird.
