Vagaries of Recollection

Memory of:
sun through cracks
a dirty sky
oil-slicked puddle
technicolor sworls
ripples in a breeze.

Yellow gumboots, slicker
befitting child of a seaman
crouch over this wonder.

But no:
this is imagined while
gazing through
a rain-streaked window
slippery vinyl bench
of my mother’s Ranchero.

Too young to apprehend the beauty;
too early to give it voice.
