OTHER SPRINGS by ROSEMARY BASEFLUG

First Line: NOW I AGAIN REMEMBER
Last Line: IN A SMALL BOY'S HAND.
Subject(s): MEMORY; SPRING;
Now I again remember
The winded breath of other springs,
A path that shadows made
From our apple tree
To the playground's edge,
Where figures knelt in alley dust,
Stabbing marble rings in rough ashes,
And heaven was a kite
In a small boy's hand.
