Together Apart

 

The way a couple

sits on a bench

under the shade of a tree

in late summer or perhaps

early fall,

his arm around her shoulders

her gaze cuts right

through the haze

down to the valley below

his regard left

toward the promise

of the sky as if he can determine

the way the wind will blow.
