the stone steps

the cold air
constricts my lungs.
the wind pushes me around.
I bend
and inhale, stop half
way up the stone steps
to catch my breath.
the world is covered
in yellowed leaves.
it doesn't seem
that long ago
when I ran down, ran
back up so easily.
going to the stream
to find
a tree
to carve our names
into.
