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.
