His first time,

stealthily,

takes her hand

leads her through

the petticoats

of a weeping willow.

Lost from view

he pulls her close

Council plans finally been passed,

time for renovation in city park,

along with the hired professionals

several young men work unpaid

fulfilling community sentences.
