I Saw You Walking

I saw you walking,

stepping,

from tile to tile

layed between terraced dirt

down a slightly steep hill towards your stream…

towards your stream

where older women friends cannot go anymore,

older women with stiffened joints,

with pain from lack of exercise

and undigested food,

no longer can move the way you still do.

You seemed happy that I, an older woman,

could still move towards her stream…

towards her stream.
