sombre carriages

No need to get wet

we have all the time we need

plan for tomorrow

Exhausting cliff walk

rewarded with beautiful bay

bass today’s quarry

Numb

.

Failed to land my job

not the glide path I hoped for

the world’s my oyster

or that’s what I tell myself

in those sorrowful moments

Sticky hooked seed heads

Autumn creep

Quite snuck up on me

early fall of withered leaves

masking autumn’s start
