Cream and Olive
you start to look like them
there you were, standing in a paddock with your cameras again
you shoot with one, another other slung around your wrist
it occurs to me that you might be my person
all cream and olive, Mary Poppins bag
your sunglasses balanced on top of your head
(i think you are the sweetest)
swimming pool
they get wet and wild
mums and dads like metal detectors in the shallow end
i do my lengths and stare at the tiles
dried juice around were you sipped
look at where we are
like we slipped, holding hands
