Slow Afternoon

yesterday's chill forgotten
in the unseasonable warmth
passersby are confused
some in shirtsleeve
those in heavy coats
lapels opened jauntily
cherry trees rush to bloom
and camellia petals fall
softly to sidewalks
the slight fragrance of
rosemary perfumes the sidewalk
and two boys drink espressos
in the sunlight
