Stansbury Street April 2020

pedestrians
in the late afternoon
in the middle of the street
humans
reclaim the neighborhood
socially distanced treading noiselessly
glow
of arching trees deodar and camphor
breathe in the slanting
sun
we are connected in
the living pulsing silence that
is
always there under the vehicular clamor
calm
revealing intimacy
piercing sweetness
love
