Softly floating – hovering – looking down

Distracted, disconnected, unfocused.

The air roaring through the vents carries me swiftly to the river.

 

Laying on the granite rocks –

– warmed by the sun

Toes in the frigid water

moving swiftly over the rocks.

A leaf on the surface traveled far –

The treeless riverbanks tell me.

 

The sun beats down

Reverberating

Heat – a drastic dichotomy against the frozen water.

Snow run off;

A snow long forgotten.

 

I blink in the brightness and refocus

On my desk.

Cool, sterile room.

Slow words

Slower focus.

The sun on my face.
