we crossed the bridge
grey river
hard pavement
heavy bags
traffic
you nudged against me
laughing

and there it was
the sun splash!

bare cafe
formica tables
coffee tastes good enough
food just doesn’t matter
people chatting
you smile at me
that little light
in your eyes

and there it is
sun splash!

it can rain
it can pour
the wind can howl
the town can fall about my ears
i feel your warmth
close, so near
i don’t quite reach to take your hand

but there it is
sun splash!

everywhere
sun splash!
