delicate slowness

 

with delicate slowness
you are erasing the past
,
breathing
taking in such a far away scent
not wanting to exhale
for fear it will be over
,
but it can only be now
and you are walking

.

how fragile
as if all the insides
are at the surface
,
but before you get used to it
remember
we're connected
everything existing together
,
even the wind
causing you to loose your hat
and pause for a moment
is like a friend bearing rare perfume
,
stopping to look around
eventually everything catches up
.
