Late afternoon aerobatics
Swallows in swoop and dive
Dip and dash, sparkle splash
Then gone, flash of white, tails streaming
We watch the show exuberant
Free to view, spectacular
Summer visitors, shared use of pool
Then gone, flying south, Europe leaving
Changing child not full grown
A month in the sun to be free
Running wild, woman-child
Then gone, future calls, leave us grieving3
30th July Hounoux, for Lily
