fresh familiarity
part 1:
My dog was begging
To go outside
Ah, fresh laundry liquid
Means fresh clothes
That’s my neighbour
Thank you neighbour for reminding me
That we go back to the same habits but can
-with fresh eyes
-
My dog turns to our usual left
I breathe in
Call it Autumn air
Ah, Summer, you have left
Means less of your warmth
That’s Autumn
You smell a little more mysterious
-
Your cool nature of the air
Is softer than Summer
It fills my lungs
Ah clarity
Ah f-r-e-s-h
I go back to 2010
That’s ten years ago
I thought I was asleep in my high school years
It feels like you have not left me Autumn
-
My dog is begging
To go outside
What is the ‘outside?’
Our mental dream of a never ending horizon
Intertwined with memories
As we wait for what is next
-Fresh Autumn
