soundless and serene

Chapter: Autumn

.

Yellow leaves. The wind
whistles through them and it looks
like it’s protecting
them from falling. I’m leaning
against the maple, dreaming.

.

Overcrowded and
jammed traffic. Back of a hand
touching a lapel.
In that moment, everything
is so soundless and serene.

.

He was standing there,
on a doorstep, soaking wet.
Without a gesture
he handed me a small bag
of cherries. I love cherries.
