Springtime in ''your home town''

Springtime in Coatbridge
through grey rain i see growth;
through crying windows the sky cries to herald the dawn.
puddles gather around the blocked road drains
their backs-of-mirrors colours mix with rainbows of spilled oils;
bent flowers in an arc of tarmac reaching for the sky
spring rain heavy - mother's milk to the suckling lip of a new moist baby
