Though no calm in her eye
Instead, a depth
Intensity
Tragedy
A wake of human debris
In her path
Instead, a depth
Intensity
Tragedy
A wake of human debris
In her path
“This one is very, very yellow!”
She winced a little as the plea in his voice tainted the photograph of the very, very chiseled man on her Tinder app. She gave the image a flick to the right, thinking, I’ll come back for you later….
“Travelling South East Asia,” he said
“You’ll wake up every morning
And have no idea
What the day will bring.”
Where the sounds of water
Lapping at your canoe
The trill of a loon
And a child’s laughter
Splashing in the lake
Become a presence
What is there in a laugh that time avoids to know?
Look at all the people out there playing
Running from the past
“Can I make my bus,” he cries, “or will I see the show?”
We surround ourselves with time
Building with the laughter a doorway to the mind
