TWO CHAIRS

When we bought those two chairs some

some thirty years ago - we never thought - each summer - when we dragged them

out to the end of the lawn - that one day -

one would be empty. It’s me - and yet -

I sit there - still looking out - and that 

other chair is still filled with you and 
all the memories  memorized here and 

across the waters we crossed together.   Please drag your new chair to face me -
so we can face each other on each side
of this beautiful blue sea between us.
