Willow

Erin Jamieson

sometimes the wind tastes like you & its perfume overwhelms me, I am wearing a second skin

that I carry by the pond where we picnicked and fell in love over peanut butter fluff sandwiches

trees shade me from the sun but

I only want to feel again

I only want the

warmth of your embrace
