Obed Tewes on a bench in Kannenfeld park, Basel in spring 2020

There you are in the distance,⁣
relaxing on a bench.⁣
Warm spring afternoon sun rays ⁣
filtering down through fresh green foliage⁣
light up the back of your head.⁣

In the foreground, a pair of pigeons⁣
purposefully walk past, ⁣
social distancing irrelevant to them⁣
as they greedily searching for morsels ⁣
left behind by happy park people.⁣

Spring trees line the path⁣
that leads to you. They frame you,⁣
causing me to stop and stare,⁣
a moment frozen in time– in my minds eye⁣
now filed away for 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘺.⁣
