Chris | by Jennifer Woods

You swirl of yellow-skip and blue
        You jump of red
    Little joy
        Little sound
You remind me that there are songs sung like this
Sung like joy
        and of course
    and I know you, love you, love you
That quiet little sound.

You burn of late-year brown and soft
        You musk of gray
    Little hum
        Little sigh
You remind me that there is warmth found like this
Felt like blanket
        and come home
    and I know you, love you, love you
That quiet, little sigh.
