Another poem....

My son is into keeping all the windows open at the moment. Even when the nights are dipping down into the low 50s. I have been writing poetry still since April, when I wrote so many, but here is one I wrote this morning that seems blog worthy.

Summer’s Opportunity

You’re opening windows

Insisting that they be not shut

Such an effort to open them

You climb up on a chair to reach

Stretching to your full height

Pulling on stiff levers that secure them

You push them free

Swinging out

Nearly falling yourself

You rock back on your heels

Standing in the silhouette of the sky

Breathing in summer’s sweet release

Hemmed in no more
