Chill

The wind caresses my shoulder with an effervescent chill.

The birds swirl around the electrical wires under the spotlight orange sunlight slicing through the trees.

The dog chips away on a bone at my feet.

Cars glide down the hill invisibly and the whir of the wheels hums beneath the trills of the birds and one single beak blast of a golden tone.

Cicadas strum a tender beat and my eyes are pulled from my phone screen to a flickering candle floating in a gray corner next to the TV blaring with light and images.

It’s 8:20 pm and the temperature is 18 Celsius. I lay my head back on the couch cushion and close my eyes.

My body shivers under the fluttering breeze and a chill kisses my cheek.
