Sitting on a bench
of the ferry in Vianen
she rashly reaches for her
slipping bicycle.
Her foot accidentally
kicks mine.
A sincere
look of sorry.
No stream is
wide enough
to forget her
tender eyes.
The ferry docks.
The ramp is free again.
She disappears along the **** —
my fresh emotions
forever
unfound.
Foot ferries, i.e. small ferries for pedestrians and often cyclists, are quite common in the Netherlands. Vianen is a small Dutch town on the river Lek, a stretch of the river Rhine.
