breathe

slowly
in stillness.

and feel
the air
cool
and slow

I woke up this morning
to the silence.

It was open

beyond my road
i can hear
the stream

in ice
water licks
the shadow of
its still self

did i dream
our kiss

in the low
cool
light of morning

scented with smoke
from last night’s fire?

when you say
“Yes?”

in response
to my stare

how can i
