it is fall and the weather is changing
when i walk to the mailbox to send two letters
the sun is bright but my ears and cheeks get cold
winter starts quickly when you aren't waiting for it
last night at the restaurant for dessert
we had coconut ice cream and bananas with chocolate sauce
the bananas were golden in puff pastry that had been fried
we didn't fight over it
but we ate it quickly
laughing
i looked out over the tables into the dusk's high dark blue sky
below that a sash of perfect darkness that were smooth clouds
holding lightening miles and miles off
when you asked me if i was holding my breath
i said no
