end of spring 
quiet campus
lost in a dream 
of green bloom 
flowering burst
into petaled flame 
luxurious melancholy 
anticipating summer
we walk after rain
warm wet asphalt 
dryer vent air
clumps of cut grass
red sunlight splashing
on shore sand and shells
bony bare driftwood 
cliffs of Dunkirk shale
in the children’s park
arms and hands raised 
breeze swaying trees
laughter and the applause of leaves
