On wild and windy nights,
this city will give you a peek.
You can see underneath.
Electric lights with no direction.
Rush, rush.
Cool breeze and
too-direct sun.
Sand in the floorboard
is the only beach you'll see today.
And then...
tall black hats line the sidewalk
and laughter fills the night.
The best music and movies
always visit.
So, you remember...
the sweet watermelon drink
and bright pink trees
that trumpet the spring.
That long spring-summer that never thaws.
Never home
but maybe
just right
now.
LA, CA (4/29/14)
