ordinary day at dusk
on the bench, just one in the line
persistently trailing view
of calming river
slow passing boat

estuary is far
won't write about it
the river is so interesting
just as words are not

I'll talk about the steps
your brisk glide
without impact and noise
daily stroll
as through my dreams

to catch sight
warm and wistful
to remind me
of red and blue
favorite colors
