across the lake

i find the picture
in an old
roll of film, forgotten
in a drawer.
i'm surprised at what i find.
your face,
unseen,
hair across your shoulders,
sitting in front
of the boat,
me at the oars.
the water dark
without sun,
the white of wind
in waves.
it's me rowing towards
shore,
your shadow
a cold and portent
shade.
