gem


It's the perfect day for a walk.

The early sky, a watery mix of yellow and blue, tastes like spring.

Already my tongue savors pastel-coated chocolates, soft bright fruit, iced tea.

My feet miss wet grass, sand of trails, each other.

I miss warm wind braiding my hair into knots, skin against skin, flesh of emerald leaves.

I move slow, hoping patience will let this day linger.
