january first two thousand twenty three

fifty degrees

rain

fog rolls heavy over the mountains

whatever is growing

on that tree is the wrong color

smells like rotting leaves

fall decomposition

out from under the ice

the wind, tamed

no longer cruel slicing through layers of clothes

winter

late or not coming this year

i go about my day

we go about our days

About the Creator

River Joy

I make things with paint and words and light. I was once described as an asshole with Mr. Rodgers vibes.
