Evening benediction

Evening benediction
Meadow, by Alfred Sisley, 1875

After the Pandemic

(written April, 2020)

You and I
were never much for crowds
anyway

But when this all is over
let’s meet in a field, somewhere
near the Connecticut border

I’ll bring coffee & you bring donuts
just so we can both have someplace to stop
and tell the person at the coffee shop

“I’m going to meet my friend.”
