epidemic habits

Since I have been walking
so much in the winter
nights, I got used to
putting on layers
and using a face mask
to guard from the cold.
And when the chill hits my bones,
I just try to keep moving,
to try to escape it
and hole up at home.
But the roads I've been taking don't
go past your door,
since I keep forgetting
how warm your hearth is,
and how you knit a scarf
for me to pick up.
