the return

before dawn
thousands of city lights coax the sun along its return path


the return

centered in sunlight

rare winter sunlight catches an iridescent shimmer of a pigeon's neck feathers
he waits on a bright moss-covered stone centered in a barren flower bed

cloud break

daybreak
sees giant arms tug at the swirling mass of varied grey 
cloud break allows a shimmer of light to glow on the horizon
and grow into hope

in shadowed patchwork

the lattice work of a garden barrier leaves an elegant shadow
on the frosted asphalt sidewalk... uncentered in the patchwork light,
a few blades of new grass have fought to create a green crack
