At this season of the year, darkness is a more insistent thing than cold. The days are short as any dream.
-- E.B. White
(Luzern, Switzerland)
To all the Autumn lovers
How do you cope with the shorter days? With all this darkness?
Unless you are vampires.
In which case, please ignore the question.

Day
Light abandoned me today,
The sun was out, sky clear,
And still its night is ever here.
I saw the sun, walked under it,
But all to soon, it's time was done.
Night fell before I felt the day,
Mind still asleep until the evening is come.
Oh the trials of a winter day.
At least the moon will shine on me.
Catholic academia in October:
old rosary tangled with earphones in your pocket, reassuring texture of the beads between your fingers. cold hands and hot coffee. late blooming roses reminding you of st. Thérèse. scribbling latin phrases on the margins. reading The Interior Castle on rainy afternoons. going to the evening mass at sunset and leaving when it's already dark, crunchy leaves under your feet.
It's 4:30pm and already dark out. 😣
