on the favored walk

          -I-

on the favored walk
along the river

the place
I once saw a heron

pleases me
as much
as the heron did

***

now
it will always have a name
the heron place

or sometimes
found
under green alders bending

or sometimes
remember

***

and in the name
the story, a small one

I can turn it over stonewise
it fits a palm nicely
swings with a rhythm
while walking
