Spring is Like a Perhaps Hand



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) 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.
