Thames*

By the river,

walking on the bridge:

hidden was a snake

waiting to surprise

- hands touching!
things happening

all so suddenly,

but no need to worry

nobody’s bitten anyway.

No more chance, word or sight

ever in this journey, honey

- so pleasantly distracted

just waving on the blues

in a single afternoon…

Then just a coffee and goodbye,

a bit chilly for a sun break

- oh, such inconstant weather!

warm and beautiful though

for Eros was playing at the square.
