As I awoke to a starlit sky

my body moved slowly

like

it had jammed gears.

While I got ready

I watched the sun rise

over the shadowy mountains.

When it was time to go to the bus

I walked into

a damp wall of fog

The crisp cool air sent

goose bumps

up my arms and legs.

Colorful leaves rustled as

the breeze blew them to the ground.
