summer in new england

Winter season ends and salt is washed away

Wind and rain and bare feet on pavement do this

Soon  lemonade flows through wide open streets

Sweet and sour and sticky kids do this

Blackened feet kick clovers and cans

Soil and asphalt and hot rocks do this

Sun freckles skin and dappled shade peaks through

Heat and light and quiet fires do this

Washing and flowing

Kicking and freckling

Without knowing why
