03. lungotevere

by Peter Humphreys

last night
as we
walked
home
light
filtered
through
green
and dappled
leaves

beside
the Tiber
broad and wide

standing
together
from the bridge
we
watched
in silence
as swallows
zigg
zagged

across
the Tiber
broad and wide

gliding
playing
darting
feeding
mating
loving
swooping
soaring
surging

over
the Tiber
broad and wide

you held
my hand
we laughed
as sunset
came
upon us
unawares
above the
green cream
flowing
Tiber
broad and wide

Gentle, beautiful and moving.

as one who trod along the same warm banks as the Tiber, ( circa summer of 62 ) I can very well relate to this tale and hail it for it sincerity. Thanks for jogging a long receded memory.
