The Beginning
Was it the setting sun or the lingering shadows did we see each other? we met at the park and began with tea do you remember the grass? and the gentle breeze that had started to blow do you remember wondering why a moment so simple should be so rare? we went to the outhouse with sleeping dogs and strewn mattresses when I held you close to me I saw my years of poverty vanishing in the fading light I thank you for offering tea and I know you thank me for accepting the offer.
