Nature's Chorus
Green as counter-melody to brass.
Nature in New Orleans sings under the noise. Magnolia, mossed oak, Bayou St. John edge, cicada and rain on cobble — counter-melody to traffic.
Symphony is declined. Chorus is accurate: many small voices agreeing you should pause.
Sanctuary is not escape only. It is attention training — sunset on the Mississippi, wildflower on the levee, proof the city breathes outside your agenda.
The cicada keeps time after the horn stops.
