Green 

A new thought

A new era

A shortcut

The memory stood clear before me. –

But I wasn’t 

There is water in the image 

Prescient 

Omniscient

It glimmered 

A cold shimmer

Refracted concrete 

Sunken leaves 

Gathering unease 

At metallic gates 

In a water world 

Drain fascination

Uniform, 

Unique

Dappled light doesn’t break

This Soft film

Spontaneous laughter, splashing, and chatter

A day without hours

Water, Concrete 

This is the clarity 

This is the haze 

Of a childhood 

Green
