Summer in Nairobi

is Jacaranda trees in bloom 
blissfully blue, bold, edging
toward lavender gladness.
When the rain falls, as we hope,
the flowers fall.

*sigh*

It is not tragic,
stomping on them on Kenyatta Ave
delicately and joyfully–

we hope the ritual will make us 
blissful while blue, even decidedly bold.
