’til all hell blooms

 

It starts at a street‑corner park

—one match flicked wrong,

    and the whole block tastes brimstone.

Kids stop mid‑kick of a half‑flat ball,

dogs stiffen,

old men lift their brows 

—they’ve heard this tune before.

Then sky goes a bad fruit colour,

as every window leans to glare.

Still—

         —someone laughs,

                    sharp snapping twigs,

and in that moment the world decides

to bloom the only way it knows how:

             wild, unruly,

                        bright as a dare.
