Backyard
There was a backyard
Filled with green grass and not charred
I used to run across it
Hair unfurling against thick thrusts of wind
Atmosphere feeling cooled and thinned
Legs extended, Brownie heaves down on the ground
His gentle pants provide the only sound
My back settles against the oak tree
Green leaves dissolving until free
At times, leaves flutter down
Sprinkling across the ground
Like candies
Crafting multicolored valleys
When the weather is filled with snow
I go
Down to the ground; my cheeks feeling soft fur
My ears hearing the soft rising and receding assure
Of Brownie; his face determined and protective
Through the harsh winds and cloudy snow subjected
Against us
I run against the prickly bushes and branches
These images fixated in my head; expansions
