The evergreen pears 🌳
Just north of the 101 underpass,
Hauser blooms into an avenue
lined with evergreen pear trees.
Hollywood hills, in the distance,
support the sky like the flat
bottom row of a puzzle in progress.A single white skyscraper towers
but the wild confetti of flowers
piece together a story that evenin resilience, there is something deciduous
and that even by a freeway
there is something so beautifulthat I think about it long after I pass.
I return to it, like a hand at ten and two
feeling for the familiar texture of comfort.
I love how this article calls the falling flowers of the Evergreen Pear tree “wild confetti.” Isn’t that so nice??
