Still Vivid


Frozen in the twilight,
we would sit side by side,
brushing hands.

We gazed over the twinkle,
the lake, a crescent moon
greeted the violet sky.

A breeze from the conifer
ruffled your hair;
I felt your breath

on my bare thigh.
Repressing a sigh,
a premonition crept up;

our last moments together
still vivid in my mind.

Of course, the grass hasn’t been cut since last July.
