Density of the morning weighing down

on my slight shoulders like a coat too large,

I push open the doors and look outside.

Delight freezes my mind and breath at once,

slowly replacing density with blood,

-warm and living- as I watch the wind fall.

Fall upon the swirling cold, pushing leaves

down upon the bike basket and car wheel.

A moment all complete unto itself.

-Sometimes that's just all you need for the day.
