equinox tomorrow
autumn comes to me like a sigh of relief. i keep track of the shortening days as reminders of solace. i felt the sun sinking fast, over the mountains in the middle of nowhere. cowboy summer is over. the summer of momentum that took me from graduation to point reyes, lagunitas, bolinas to santa cruz, bonny dune to donner pass, to the yuba river, nevada city, davis to el sobrante, to the uplands to pick up honey again, again to petrolia, the mattole river, to ferndale, to the avenue of the giants to van nuys, to los feliz, to the la convention center, to topanga back to center here. all just in time. this summer i remained present, actionable, reflective. propelled into movement. hopeful and eager. remained returning to ryans warmth. remained in long sleeve shirts. remained joyful for the end of it all.
