She watched them falling through the bus window,
in slow motion like dandelions from a giant upended field
crimson
leaves curled and fell, swaying side to side
forming
a variegated rouge brown carpet.
The
mother and child on the park bench, people on the bus
delicate
pensioners, everyone stilled in rapt appreciation
of
her rainbow shower, aware this magnificent show
was for a limited time only.
Wordlessly,
relentlessly, with a glamourous last russet hurrah
she
tidied away for a more barren and sinister act to follow
her
generosity and voluptuousness
casting lingering relaxed and happy shadows
As she finally revealed herself naked
everyone’s
thought was the same:
"she
never fails to put on a show
yet each one thrills as if for the first time."
yet each one thrills as if for the first time."
