dreaming the clouds away
an apple blossom scattered
child sized day
and wistfulness remained.
you turned the page.
the library scented books
stacked in a row
below the goldfish bowl
in the classroom swam
and the honeysuckle bloomed
between: I may, I can
perfuming our school room
and summer grew near
as though it would never leave
for the rest of the year.
