Sun and Shadow

It rained so long and heavy yesterday, I felt our house could float away (like in the kid's book "Tatties's River Journey").  Still here but had to pump and dry the yellow room downstairs, and the basement.

Sun and Shadow

I look into the sun

And see shadows

Lying behind the sheds and trees

Underneath the rippling water

And in the depths of your eyes

Winter shadow cool as iris

Summer shadow, soft and brown

I walk half in the sun, half in shadow

The dividing line

Demarcates

I walk in both directions

Leaving a kaleidoscope

Of colored pieces

Falling on my footprints
