Mary Hills Kuck
Eventually this dismal rain will stop, that cancelled out the halcyon days of just last week when we forgot the month while playing in the papery leaves that sifted down like snow. Who could blame me if I wanted back the balmy air, the breeze, the copper trees, the cheerful sky, the thought that winter is delayed? But that can’t be, don’t think of it. Winter always follows fall, just as you and I both age.
