green space
i scrape my knee on concrete
bleed my soul across hard corners
as green curls up
spreading light
across my eye
a busy intersection
burps out noise
angry calls of tire screech
a finger flipped
a tongue wagged
hard
in the soft hum
of a bird’s chirping tune
lips curve upwards
tongues danced
soft
a place to rest
my breathe.

I love the imagery of the ‘urban jungle’ that this conjured in my mind…I see some city-weary soul tucking into a quiet park corner getting their green fix at lunch.
The quiet softness of your photograph is perfect…I love that little green tendril reaching up and out.
(And, yes we definately need to visit someday…So near, and yet so far…:)

I love the contrast… the harshness of the man-made concrete world… the soft life that nature shows…
Now I want to go hiking, thank-you-very-much! lol

Oh, Dar! I love your poetry! It’s so vivid.
I see that contrast every day from my front porch where I see a freeway and hear the hum of tree frogs. :)
