Your brown eyes

Long lashes

Blond hair pulled back

Blue nails

Your hat with the pom pom

Coat with the many zippers

Platform shoes that you were so proud of

The way you would

and here i thought we were all going to die someday;

incorrect;

our corpses (sacks of what used to be our livelihood, exhales of what used to be our lives) will 

the world is colder than before

north winds exhaling dragon breath across the valley and

my doorstep where i wait for the bus (bumblebee against concrete),

rubbing my hands together and

As the evenings got darker

And the days got colder

We became closer

As the leaves were whisked away

We began online school days

And became inseparable

The leaves fall down like routine, 

Their colors crisp and brown. 

I want to freeze this moment

When November comes around. 

The fluttering leaves that were once so lush and green and captivating and sang in the breeze,

Now, they are gold,

Wispy flakes nestled in among the reds and oranges,

Fall has finally returned

From a 

Long

Long 

Trip.

She arrives at our doors

Her hair turning burnt red

It's been so long 

That I'm starting to forget 

The color of your eyes 

And the way you smile 

But I'll always remember 

The way you cared. 

I spent fall with you

And fell into your frigid winter embrace

We went trick-or-treating in the dark

And we took walks in the park

But in the end

You were colder than winter
