A hunt to find some beauty

I know I need it

Can feel all that concrete with hard edges closing in on me

So I slip between them

Head under hood searching

 

A space

An open space unframed 

 

A falling leaf gently strokes my cheek

Makes me glance up

And feel dizzy

As – head tilted back – my hood falls

And I enjoy sky
