A Conversation with Rain Size:MEDIUM (A3) - Single Release of 5It smells like autumn. The darkening sky announces her arrival; it hides the horizon in a wash of white, and blurs the memories of warmer times. The wind joins in and defies the rain, pushing it sideways, lifting it up and back.

mixing with the honeyed light that dripped through my body

and the coolness of raindrops on bare skin

where I always feel that sense of deep recognition
