a breeze


The breeze came suddenly.

 It gave me a gentle embrace, a kiss on the neck, reminding me of a place forgotten: where everything’s so big; where soil often met bare feet; where laughter lasted for days. 

This was the place we spent our years before becoming cold and worried. The memory seduced me; each thought, an ember. 

Burning beautiful, bright but breaking, bleeding. 

All that remains is an emptiness we try and fill, because after all, men mustn't have hollow bones. I realized we could never go back because we never left, 
we just forgot how to count the stars. 

The breeze blew on, rustling leaves, circulating dust, whistling away victoriously.
