Daylight has moved on. Sun is sleeping over a flat Earth. Darkness has taken over.

She goes down to the river where stars cast their light. Glowing on water as catfish jump and frogs croak. 

Remembering times when night meant swimming naked. Bearing bodies and souls to no one; a secret. 

They were in love. Said they were. Kids make up stories, tell tales, passions true, promises made.

Lives change. The sun does rise.  New days begin. And past loves are dreamt about. Never going away. Never fleeing. Forever swimming in a river at nighttime.
