Spring is like a perhaps hand
—E. E. Cummings
III
Spring is like a perhaps hand
(which comes carefully
out of Nowhere)arranging
a window,into which people look(while
people stare
arranging and changing placing
carefully there a strange
thing and a known thing here)and
changing everything carefully
spring is like a perhaps
Hand in a window
(carefully to
and fro moving New and
Old things,while
people stare carefully
moving a perhaps
fraction of flower here placing
an inch of air there)and
without breaking anything.

Such a peaceful, simple and hopeful scene. It is calming to look at during this sadness we are feeling for the Boston firefighters, their families, friends and co-workers.
Truly, Betsy. Such a somber night but I’m glad that you’re finding some solace here.
A lovely share. Thank you, Jeny!
Jenny, I meant!
Thanks for visiting and enjoying, Lori! So lovely to see you here.
