ten blocks til home

the bronze sunlight peeked underneath steely clouds, glinting playfully at the departed temperamental rain;
bouncing citrus hues off the dark shiny puddles splayed along the slick sidewalks, matted by ivory cherry blossoms.
the streetlights popped emerald shadows off rubied tenements, as the hopeful dusk reveled in the coming of the bluesy night ;
i padded home, thirsty for another april shower.
