autumn
raindrops covered in
pumpkin flavored leaves
the air is a mix of
velvet vapor
and crisp refreshing apple
tall glass of cold water.
candy colored leaves
crunch like music
and sway in dance
with swirls of steaming
chai tea.
hands fold, arms embrace
knitted sweaters fall to our knees.
for a moment we live
in our orange tinted glasses
and take the first breath of fresh air
we haven’t tasted in months.
