It’s Spring Again

It’s Spring again.

Barren trees

in the backyard

have leaves again.

Mosquitoes fly by,

Big as airplanes.

Flies fly by, too—

big as birds.

Soon heat will arrive

& Spring, like an old friend,

will wave goodbye

& leave.

It’s Spring again.

Flowers kiss the Sun.

Grass grows,

thick & fast.

Doors & windows

will soon close

& artificial air

will bruise my skin.

So long, Spring.

You’re my favorite.

Next year,

can you stay longer?
