bare legs and bare toes

Sparrows

I'm waiting for air
that smells like fresh laundry
grass, and new things
carried detectably on warm undercurrents

for bare legs and bare toes
and for the feel of sun on my face

when all the dead leaves from fall
are uncovered by melting snow
and they flit about in the breeze,
looking like sparrows hopping on the road.
