ODD COLOURED SHOES

she is an artist
in herself with
odd coloured shoes
and paint splashed smock

and a smile
painted on her pale face

her tinted hair
astonishingly pink

he smiles and says
“I only saw you
last week”

and I think of
coincidence

and attach it to one
person being attracted to another

and predict a romance
coloured red

beginning with a
blank canvas

WE MOSTLY TALKED

Judith & I we
walked & talked ,
talked & shared
conclusions about
life

Judith & I we
swam, we ate
we talked &
laughed we sat

& talked till
breath1ess, we
drank, we ate,
we ran we grew

close, so close
her door & mine
they fused

together we walked
through, held hands...
and the silence
was the best silence
I ever heard
