When he was younger he would have
focused on the beers
and the cleavage
but now as they sat on the
cool april pool deck
overlooking the narragansett bay
and took in the
pink and yellow and orange
haze of the sun vanishing
behind masts and sails and wisps
he focused
instead
on the woman and the bond
and the blessing
