in a far away country

i look at her

on the edge of the fountain
in a far away country.

a calm smile upon her face.
her hands folded before her.

i should have been there.

her brown eyes, her white dress.
the sun
on her shoulders

as she brightens
for the camera.

if i had been there, maybe
it could
have been different.

but i take the blame.
it wasn't right just yet.

perhaps now.
there will be more fountains
to sit
at.

more sun to shine upon
us. we shall see.
