Sometimes I go for a walk
\nin the afternoons, when the rain is still
\ndripping from branches and letterboxes
\nand the clouds on the hills look empty<\/p>\n
While I wander, I imagine
\nthe friends I don\u2019t know anymore
\nwalking on parallel streets
\nin the same direction <\/p>\n
Chins up,
\nfeet light,
\nsure steps
\nunused umbrellas swinging<\/p>\n
Maybe we\u2019re all
\nlooking forward, maybe they
\ndon\u2019t know
\nThat I\u2019m watching the trees
\nbend over the path with the weight of the water
\nand pocketing the leaves<\/p>\n
If they turn the right corner
\nand so do I
\nWe might spot each other<\/p>\n
At the moment of meeting
\nI will stand and wait
\nto see if they cross the street. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
