I laid down in the grass

I laid down in the grass

It was exactly as before 

Though covered in cold and farther from the ground 

The sky was the same

Clouds came by and told their stories 

Not to me but

I was close enough to hear 

Sunk as I was in the quiet

My skin was the same

Just older

Leaving more space for the wind 

And carrying on 

I left my body behind

A sign of passage pressed into the field 

Until the landscape resets

Under footfall and snow
