Wall by Richard VinceShe is in my peripheral vision, and
That is where I leave her.
The sunshine and shadow on
A warm stone wall are all
My eyes need.
After a day of noise and effort,
All I want is stillness and
A quiet foreground; perhaps
She also appreciates the pause,
A small portion of time in which
To practise patience.
All too soon, the time to move
Arrives again, and our
Respective days resume,
Tired eyes looking for
Our next destinations.
