Waters edge (interlude to Toffee Love)

Could you see me if I got any closer?
If you looked over your shoulder
And saw the mirrors reflection grazed onto the moon?

This is not the time for dim recall
Nor for the dewy eyed remembrance
Of the lost days spent star gazing and skimming stones.

We wrote our history in chalk dust
So that the winds of memory
Would blow and cast those thoughts away like crumbs.

nicely said

i love
to skip stones

first learned how
off a shallow on the river thames
when i was 7

and however
each time
it is with guilt for
taking so much
pleasure
in tossing away
the thing i loved

Russell CJ Duffy said...

blog this>>>river thames? really? when?

camera shy said...

this coming summer
it will have been
28 years ago
when i was seven
on holiday with my family
dad was teaching
summer session
at oxford

have a photo
me and sibs
playing pooh sticks
of a bridge
in the palace gardens
at blenheim

camera shy said...

every childhood should
be filled
with countelss hours
of pooh sticks

plus one hour more

Egad! A display of versatility from a splendid writer.

I'd also comment on the pooh sticks, but I haven't a clue. Sounds dirty.

Russell CJ Duffy said...

Ô¿Ô>>>pooh sticks as played by winnie the pooh and christopher robin in the one hundred acre wood.
not dirty but silly (in the best possible way)
