Skies Surround Us

A brushy mountainside bathed in soft warm light

Soft Slopes

It's that magical inbetween time when the land nods off, and I feel so aware, alive. When did you last watch someone fall asleep? When's the last time you dozed, supposing you are awake, but then after realized you can't seem to remember specifics, like maybe your memories are not in words or images but in something else? I love undefinable inbetweens, watery, dreamlike boundaries. What race am I? what gender? what sexuality? what religion? what anything? I don't know. The answer is living.

The undersides of grey-blue clouds lit bright orange by the set sun, the snowy mountain in the distance over town glows faintly orange
