this summer memory has stayed with me over the years
I am not a poet :) but this seemed the best way to try and describe the feelings behind the memory.
girl sitting
no details of colours
or cloths
on warm cement surfaced dock
lake still.
from nowhere a full black cloud
kids running up the path home, birds disappearing
me closing the window, watching
lake still.
sky darkened, black clouds released
heavy downpour
girl lies back
torrent
girl still, lake still
cloud passed and the girl got up and walked up
the path
I wonder if she remembers
