April Mechanical

      Organized neatly between the
      divisive particles of air
      near the old scratched moss
      of some ending season
5     grey beneath green as
      anxious among concrete park
      benches it spreads, the air,
      blue in imitation of the
      sloshing fountain water, the water
10    not an expression of thought
      but rather in its deepening
      stance a mirror for
      angry clouds cherry-red
      with the long brittle atoms
15    of a slashing sun, a few
      rough trees deport
      their skinny limbs
      into the jealous sky, naked
      to speak to us with their
20    completely unhinging buds
