Life during lockdown

Springtime in the Pacific Northwest

It is especially beautiful this year
maybe it is the clean air,
the quiet 
or lack of humans 
all around 

I walk the trails
sunshine hits the back of my head
I forget, for a moment, that life is different now:

No touching
 no hugs, no kisses
10 feet
always wear a mask if out and about.

I can do this.  
It's not that different from my weird normal life

but I miss my friends.
