When we met, three weeks after I moved

by Roland Park
(Walden, New York, United States)

You walked the Orchard
In neat rows of green trees
Clean air shook off winter
Your lips sipped Apple Cider
I didn't fit anymore anywhere, then there
you were

We watched the Hudson run beneath the Brooklyn Bridge
Tiny people on Jane's Carousel
Your words iridescent
on my ear; convalescent
You put your warm fingertips
on my pale little arm

You burst into my world
You placed me on the cloud
It was Saturday, it had just turned Spring
