Fall

 

It has taken some time, but I’m starting to sync with the seasons. I drove by the country this evening, and a new universe unfolded before me. Thick fog settled into the valley and sucked color right off the street. 

The beautiful spectrum of early October melted into a grey ambience like your absence from me. Misty contours sprinkled across my windshield, reluctantly tasking my whippers. Behind me, night followed closely. I can never get used to the dark at 5 pm!

Fall! It feels like a beautiful, long evening when we played as kids. Looking out for the dusk lights to point us home. The nostalgia is its own madness! 

Darling, this is what becomes of me when I think of you.
