standing in the sun

standing in the sun
I photographed your shadow
you waved me goodbye

Thank you for sending me the photo

Thank you for sending me the photo
the photo of snowcapped mountains
and of you

You are smiling your beautiful smile
Thank you for sending it to me

I just wondered
just wondered
who was holding your phone for you
because that is not a selfie

Selfie

You walked up to me, put your arm around my shoulders and snapped a selfie. You’ll be famous one day, you said, and I’ve got my photo all ready. It’ll be everywhere. And away you walked.
