The Four Seasons

Stepping outside today, I caught a whiff of winter. And I don't care what the calendar says; I determine seasons by scent. German winter smells much like American ones-- a chilling, stiff, cold which is also extremely fresh, untainted by huge temperature swings.

Hopefully this new scent also lifts my spirits. This past week didn't go very well, and I hope the upcoming one will be better.

driving home

the sky accelerates
and the clouds all form
a gemometric shape
and it goes fast
you think of the past

suddenly everything has changed
