Suddenly Found!

lost pages of
my diary
formerly
holding Secrets
now
spilling
peanuts by the roadside.

Together

Talking in companionable silence











Hmm...this is nice.

remember?

A gentle squeeze
from an old shoe,
nothing painful
(no, we don't do that now)
to remind the wearer
that once
this
pair was new,
loved,
and kept on the top shelf

want:

four legs
dangling from a water tank
in the Garden
and time
