iowa city sunset
the university resides on both
sides of the river
and for as long as I remember
there is nothing divisive
about this city
how many years have transpired
since finding myself recalling
bits and pieces of my stay there
of the many evenings relaxing
at the lagoon shelter house
the three of us sitting cross-legged on the deck
easily adjusting our attitudes
culminated by soundless fireworks
courtesy of a slowly descending sun
october two thousand nineteen

Poignant and well-crafted. There is a lot of nostalgia in many of these pieces.
Thank you, Padmini.
