It's spring

Yesterday the girls stopped by to practice their wiles on my sons.
First they lolled on the couch, like puppies, legs and arms intertwined. 
Then Melissa migrated to the recliner, closer to Nick,
who sat politely in another chair, doggedly making conversation
in the face of tight jeans and light laughter.
Jade followed Sam out the back door, 
around the garden, 
along the side of the house, 
and into the den. 
They sang their favorite teen anthems, 
watching fractals on the iMac screen, 
voices hollow like lonely coyotes.
