bursts with winter blooms

Michael confesses: Grey winter's day: I'm on San Francisco's Geary Street, past Polk—a haven of transiency. A tree in full bloom. "Why haven't I encountered this before?" I wonder. My eyes are drawn to a wall of scrawls. A poster of a beautiful young man: Gone missing. Hereabouts. The haiku comes.
