spoons

Elliot in the background,
Lulling us into lollypop-happy fantasy
Under a green blanket we cuddle, scarves on,
Heart to heart
Beat to beat.
Whispering into the bejeweled sky.
Running my fingertips over your lips
Tickling you behind your ears
As you plait the hair by my neck,
Sigh warm breath into the crispy air
And feel it bite your nose in return
Spirited autumn red orange and gold,
A moment of rest
A glimpse at peace.
I’m glad I got to share this with you.
