Still isolated, we look for beauty in small things. Today, noticing purple:
Hyacinths and hydrangeas blooming under sunlit skies
Plump grapes glistening with rinse water
A child’s metallic violet bike abandoned beside the sidewalk
Purple-gloved hands, administering care
The WiFi signal promising connection to others
Iris and lilacs scenting the warming breeze
A paint-tipped brush rendering pansies on canvas
Blinking Twitch logo on my son’s mobile
A daughter’s ombré hairstyle, nails to match
The hoax of an ultraviolet cure, gone viral
States wavering between political beliefs once unshakeable
Looming mountains reflected in the deep evening sky
Purple-stained lips from drinking more wine
Lavender bath salts calming the day away
The leading edge of another night in quarantine
