February 20

sitting on the dock
spring breeze at their back
old men reminiscing

a goose landing onto
the pond as silent
as a cloud passing over

spring thaw
children's laughter as the
melting snow runs away

April breeze
sleeping grass begins
to stretch

autumn's
oak leaf
matted and black
swept away by spring

a rain barrel
filled with April rain
collecting the stars

on a hard city street
softly walking
a young woman
