Summer Is Here!

The starling bathes herself in the gutter outside.
Sprinkling yesterdays rain water onto the flower bedĀ 
She flies away swiftly as I walk insideĀ 
Into the next garden were she spots some bread

A cat prowls steadily cross the grass
Fixed on the bird as they sing their song
Perched firmly on a cylinder of gas
Startled, the bird takes flight and is gone

A lawnmower purrs
Flowers bloom
Children play outsideĀ 
for hours on end
Even the dead are dancing on their tomb
Summer is here
Possibilities around every bend
