Late Afternoon Walk in January

My face slants toward the afternoon sun, as if I were a plant kept too long in a dark corner. Pine needles on the ground give off the smell of the sun’s warmth. Two hawks circle above the evergreens, in the open sky. I’m greedy for sunlight. Today I could survive on light alone.

    I need my sunshine. Been peeking out the door, hacking and coughing, antsy to go for a walk or a run. It’s cold again, but the sun is always welcome.
