Situ
.
Today, the wind carries ocean but is gentle.
.
Were you?
Your bench tells me so little.
For three days now, we have watched the waves…
while sitting on Situ.
.
When you walked, The Depression hovered…
and then the stubborn war.
.
Mornings or afternoons here, may have soothed
where you watched this same ocean.
Your footsteps linger under others, from now.
.
All I know of you is that you were well loved – “always”.
Your bench plate tells me that.
