everything still here

the bench
with a metal square
and a name
inscribed
catches the sunlight,
striking my
eye.
i read the name
out loud
and sit, as he must
of sat with
the geese in the air,
the splash
in his ear,
children
running from their
parents towards
the sand
and water.
everything that he
saw,
still here.
