An Evening Stroll in April

A man mowing stripes into his lawn,
the blossoms feathering the trees in pink, white and blush,
a girl pushing her sibling in a stroller in tracks up and back
across the gray asphalt driveway,
a terrier racing silently along a chainlink fenceline,
assessing whether we two are a threat,
windows reflecting back the deepening sun,
shaded patios awaiting warmer weather,
nearly-opened leaves peeping from branches,
and catkins like snow still sprinkled across greening lawns.
