◎ The Intersection Chorus

The block gathers
as afternoon rounds its shoulders—
sunlight settling into a softer angle,
heat loosening into breeze,
shadow laying cool hands
along the curb.

People arrive
carrying the city’s new letters
in their palms,
in their pockets,
in the quiet confidence
of practiced touch.
