The air is petrichor and pine
mixed with the spiciness of new mulch
Birds skitter across leaf litter
looking for seeds
The dogs and I
out for a walk,
basking in first warmth
I want to pluck this moment out of time
keep it in my pocket
but the dogs pull on their leash,
a gentle reminder to
Keep moving.
