She was polishing the chairs

when the doorbell rang

she smoothed down her hair

and answered to a little old man

he gave her his widest grin and said

would you mind if I came in and talked to you?


One April afternoon

two shadows walking in the sun

their final tune

two shadows waiting for the April moon


She showed him the kitchen

and he pulled up a chair

as he was about to begin

he noticed her hair

he thought to himself

how beautiful she looked

and said

would you mind if I took a picture of you?


April afternoon

two shadows walking in the sun

their final tune

two shadows waiting for the April moon
