a blink of light
across the field
the chase begins

in a strange city
will he ever come home
the mother waits
by the phone

spring afternoon
walking in the park
sounds of water

walking in the park
sound of water
bread crumbs
for the ducks

cloudless sky
still water…
cannonball

clothes come off
before we jump in

for a while
creeks running loud now
pants rolled up
the boys wade in

pants rolled up
the boy wades in

for a while
creeks running loud now
mirrors
off the stones

for a while
creeks running loud now
the children wade
in the water

for a while
creeks running loud now
thunder rumbles
on into the distance

for awhile
creek running loud now
erosion
natures fury

running late
to the door
greeted by roses

a dinner date for two
running late
two gold shields
at the door

a dinner date for two
running late
she checks her watch
orders another drink
