\nA child is hula hooping
\nin the evening sun.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019m taking the yellow bike

\nThe sea\u2019s humming in purple,
\na ring in my palm.<\/p>\n
\nthe train\u2019s crossing an orchard.
\nThe wine glass trembles.<\/p>\n
\nThe city breathes inwards
\nmoon palpitations.<\/p>\n
\nGlass beads scattered on the grass,
\nmaking a necklace.<\/p>\n
