Amid the melting snow, the statues of nubile girls and boys
on a fountain danced in the bright sun.
The centerpiece of the fountain, a young woman
led the group with her cymbals, her green
figure set off perfectly against the blue sky.
Just over a day later, rain storms swept into the area,
making the bare trees dance in the night
as the rain beat against the windows,
adding their own rhythms to greet
the approaching spring.
