Reminiscence

the river runs through my feet
passes through sand, pebbles

it's neat

the gentle flow
around my toe
slows me down

I go slow

i read the sky
for shapes anew
name all the shades
I see of blue

i think of you

leaning up against
a car, looking up
amongst the stars

all day, all night
it once was bright

now it's many
shades of blue

I think of you

I go slow

I recall all the
things I know

I go slow
and think of you
as the sand
slips through
my pebbled soles
adrift in a stream
I reflect beside
a sunbeam
lighting
up my shin

i think of you
i breathe in
where did we go?

I go slow
