                           That spring I felt  the green buds open  on skeletal trees. 
  Near a 
winding path of ash  as the river grew ripe  in the slanting sun, 
  thoughts became places. 
  We watched the  Sunday-best children, 
 impaled on shining  communion medals,  smile at a camera`s  jagged 
edge. 
  The sky turned to dying lilac. 
  And I remember  watching 
you walk away in  a heaviness of thunder  and the first drops falling 
                         
                        like winter-tipped arrows
