Shot of Love

—@ Bridge and Water streets in fall

between the squat sentinelMarty Yaffee Water and Bridge
(the blood-red stubby guy

with blue arms and lemony hat
who points two ways at once)

and the windowed brick façade above, 
a lightning bolt of green 
shoots through leafy clouds
at sun-shot daybreak
like a shot of love
—a patch of sea below, framed in stone
is struck blue with life at this familiar
corner of the world
