Word of the Day Challenge: Thirst
Covid Restrictions in Washington State are going to be lifted for fully vaccinated individuals and our state Reopens on June 30th so this is what I’ve missed during the lock down and what I look forward to in June.
Henri Matisse – The Green Pumpkin, c. 1916
Of all the things I’ve missed
since the Covid-19 lockdown began
I have missed October the most.
I have missed being afraid for fun
I have missed haunting cemeteries for sport
I have missed saying ‘boo’ and making people laugh
The lack of October has made me
anxious, tired and sad
I am hungry, I am thirsty for the darkness to return.
I have missed you Darling October
and I have missed your children
Christmas and Halloween.
Snow clouds, thunder storms
falling leaves and icy garden paths
come home soon, I am waiting for your return.
