a day later

a day later
they’re still there!
the tracks that show
how and when
we jumped off
a wooden
bridge-into-a-dry
riverbed

yours so confident
mine a mess of feet
and fingers

a leopard
has since crossed
the tracks that show
how and when
we jumped off:
the very tracks
we searched for
that weren’t there!

yours and his so confident
mine a mess of feet
and fingers

 


 

Tracks telling stories.
