Spring Sightings

Two little girls play in the front yard
Running after frisbees
Making chalk drawings in the driveway
Following each other on scooters
Clumsily and earnestly applying make up on fresh faces

A woman sit on the front porch
Remembering running and drawing and following
Calling out words of warning
Wanting to protect the innocent and the young
Seeing the dandelions and hearing the helicopters and watching
Two little girls play in the front yard.
