in late spring!

it's good to be alive
in late spring.
it's good to hear the past sing
through the wind-lattice
in late spring.

it's good to feel the body
in late spring.
it's good to smell the grass sweat
in late spring.
it's good to do a little dance
and a big dance
in late spring.

the sky opens up
in late spring.
and there's the sidereal darkness still
in late spring
and
come to think on it
in early autumn too
and mid-summer and
in later winter
there is the sidereal darkness
also.

but in late spring
it's good to feel the body sing
in late spring.
it's good to love you
in late spring.
it's good to kiss you
in late spring.
and again
in late spring.
kiss you in late spring.
in late spring.
in late spring!
