Soft the air
the swan’s glide
the stones underneath
across the river
the departed ship
see the cormorant dive.

Looking for the river
by the banks
Hours we walked
over and under
There were geese and swans
and crowds
but the river showed
no face nor sound.

An older man
at the open door,
From such difficulties
they rose, she says.
On the quiet street
with its vestibules.

Today, the seagulls sailed
and the graveyard paths
crossed by sunlight and memory.
