sparkling swans . . .
wisps of spray
from the Jet d’Eau Michael
shining in the rain
the Vieille Ville’s cobblestones Olivier
the shadows of flags
at the Palais des Nations . . .
pond ripples Michael
cloud drift
rivers Rhône and Arve
merging Olivier
my friend’s grave
wet with Mont Salève snowmelt Michael
summer breeze
Lake Geneva dotted with
brightly colored sails Olivier
