I will sit, alone, by a window in an armchair I paid too much for and watch the seasons go past. Time will move and I will think, over and over again, is this all there is, is this all there is, is this all there is…”
Turn Over
Sometimes the clean fall air and sky dig out a hollow space in my chest.
Today I am sad.
