for Jan and Jen
i picture you both
wearing pails of water
standing on slanted ground
pop-up pyramid stories
and strained leg muscles
or i see you in a field
emptied of color
and peppered with buildings
trees like footstools
and a gray that could be
green, blue or neither
i think you would be
brightly dressed
and my eyes watching you
take turns switching you each
alternating in the foreground
and you two try
to let your smiles spill
to watercolor the whole scene
to radiate a saving light
