Foggy days. The shroud
of mystery that veils our
ordinary lives.
Cold snap arrives at
last. Wind, rain shake the changing
leaves into vibrance.
Couplings and breakups
compelled by senior year some
begin others end.
With no school Monday
so much high drama surrounds
turning seventeen.
Unexpected rain
soothing in a random way
anxious thoughts washed clear.
Well-loved now. Rescued
he was matted with feces,
eyes begging for home.
Summer warmth still clings
Like gum on a shoe, with all
the stickiness gone.
Humidity, haze
recede. Distant hills emerge
honed sharp by cool rains.
