Anywhere At All

As if I am a mother
or counsellor
people talk to me.

In restaurants
      coffee shops
                     buses
anywhere at all
people walk up
sit down
          and release.

Unclosed

The last time that I
saw her she
was wearing
a broad straw hat
that shaded
her face
and shoulders from
the sun.

Now and then the saddle
creaked beneath her and
the horse seemed
impatient to get
somewhere.

I dont remember what
we talked about.
My memory only knows
that it was good
to see her.
