Silent
Still
Dark
The faraway, rhythmic jiggle of a dog’s collar
The arrival of a soft breeze and the pull of its departure
The deep pink roses standing out like secret beacons in the corners
Stop and smell
Nose damp
Free rose water
Grin
You could skip if you wanted to, and sometimes you do
You could sprint like a child
The exhilaration of running on carpet indoors
No elements to stop you
And you’re outside, even better
Dirt
Grass
Tiny wildflowers
A stick
No moss
Put it in a jar and label it
Dickinson Square Park
