a small stream
running with a young man’s speed
the sound of water
through budding groves
she weaves between
still traffic
still traffic
sirens wail
building to building
building to building
in the confusion a leafless ash-tree
in the coffee-shop dirt under her nails
alive to the world
a song bird vying with a waterfall
neon signs
flick on and off
sidewalk daisies
swapping stories
a single cottage
on the distant mountain
bright green hawthorn
talking to shepherds
in the confusion a leafless ash-tree
in the coffee-shop dirt under her nails
alive to the world
a song bird vying with a waterfall
