Autumn Days.

Autumn winds blew the dying leaves in swirls drifting them across the grass. It was oddly warm for an over cast day, just enough to have my hoddie sleeves pushed up to the elbows and gloves ticked under my head as a mini makeshift pillow. The trampoline mat bounces under me as my best friend sits up, tugging her cardigan off dropping it down on the blue safety mat hiding the springs.

It wasn’t that big of a movement but enough to attract the attention of a wag-tail sitting on the fence across the other side of the yard. Its wings twitch like it wasn’t sure if it should fly away or not. If the movement was a threat or something harmless. I watch it relax and start hunting for spiders hidden under the fence guard when she doesn’t move again.

A small lizard came scrambling out when the bird hopped up the fence more and scurried in behind one of the big bushes that were planted against the fence. The bird looked shock for a moment but carried on looking for lunch.

“You think the lizard was annoyed the bird disturbed him?” My friend asked quietly glancing down at me for a second.
“I’m guessing so. I would be.”

I shrugged the best I could lying down and looked back over to the fence. The bird was gone.

“What do you think it flew away from? Us talking?” I asked with a small frown.

My friend made a small noise and moved to be lying next to me again. The fence looked rather empty without the little bird there and the lizard was still in hiding. Or all the way down the fence line.

“I hope not. Maybe its friends were calling.”
“Maybe.”

I closed my eyes to the thin layer of clouds that didn’t do much when blocking the sun. Another cool breeze slithered through my hair followed by a leaf hitting my bare foot. I wiggled my toes to the fluttering feeling but didn’t bother to look if the leaf was still on the tramp.

“If I called would you come flying to me?” I whispered.
“As long as you did the same.” She replied just as quietly.

I smiled with my eyes closed still but I knew she saw the answer.
