Mama's Favorite...

hokay. remember at volunteer park sunday, when you put your water bottle beside me, "in the shade of you," and i wrote it down and said i'd do something with it? did this on the bus today:



In the shade of you, the long-spent day of you,
Your slipping toward eventide with only trees to give you comfort.
You solace,
You joy,
You end of day and succor,
I am awestruck and unmoving,
Caught in an Endless gasp for air,
In a bubble of recrudescence.
Struck still and slow in the shade of you,
In the quiet and cool.



thanks, mom.
love,
rd
