falls

Today there was a lovely flurry of yellow petals out the window, swirling in a lazy downfall. I thought of no one (and nothing) as I watched them polka dot the sky. It was just there, and I was simply in it.

A few seconds later it stopped suddenly (but not too suddenly), and she came back, right on cue.

It was over in that second, but for a moment I lived in eternity. And for once, in this forever, there was no crowding. Not from any of the yous, not even from me.
