Just for a moment
the sun fell upon your face
illuminating your deep red lips
and your skin, illuminated pale and perfect.
I noticed the fine blonde child's hair
on your cheek catching the light
the outline of your legs visible through
your pale printed summer skirt.
A brief moment, seared onto my memory
to be stored and revisited at random moments
how happy and content we were then
until you moved into shadow and where gone.
