crimson

and then the next evening rolled in...

pouring rain, hard rain, in the forest
temperatures plummeting
leaves stained crimson
deck plants screaming for help
chilly air baiting the orchids raised with the angels

warm beaches and hurricanes
floods and beached vessels
migrating birds
migrating storms

screens full of rain
grey skies
no glimpse of a hummingbird

the loom comes home tomorrow

fall
