Lilacs in September

posted by letter shredder at 9:46 AM

Shocked to the root
like the lilac bush
in the vacant lot
by the hurricane --

whose black branch split
by wind or rain
has broken out
unseasonably

into these scant ash-
colored blossoms
lifted high
as if to say

to passersby
What will unleash
itself in you
when your storm comes?

--Katha Pollitt
your storm comes?

--Katha Pollitt
