Prelude to summer
I opened the window for the first timeAnd the furnace remained silent
The birds' songs masked by neighbors talking
Children laughing
A party in the park
Balloons smiling and food grilling
While there was running, sliding and swinging
Dare I join in and climb the jungle gym?
With spades and rakes, people groomed
The earth
When was the last time I was groomed
By nurturing hands?
