COVID Fall
Dragging feet to hear the crunch. A leaf as big as your head with eye holes to make a mask. Playing the throw game. You drop into leaves, roll on a soft pillow, take turns disappearing under light bundles of them. Cheeks, red. Coat, warm. Eyes half-closed.
inhaling darkness
the sweet scent
of a safe hug
