I liked my shadow
walking in front of me
carrying a pail,
wearing a long dress,
long hair loose, blowing in the wind
I liked the late afternoon,
still hot, but rendered pleasant
by our recent swim
I like the sounds of the night -
the crickets there, the traffic here in town -
Life's subtle adventure
humming behind it all.
