about

A place that turns cold like a corpse in the grave, where clear country stars menace in the sky like barbed icicles, where days grow darker with windswept leaves that cavort in macabre pirouettes beneath a mourning veil moon.

That time of foggy hills and leaf smoke swirls as if a thousand tiny forests burn nearby. A time where lingering midnights are scented like old books and cadaver-cold childhood school rooms. A lingering moment when you feel an erstwhile lover's kiss that turned frigid upon your lips long, long ago.

A dolorous place of faded rains where change is trenchant and unstoppable. Of hope that vanished into too-early snows and the regrets of summers forever gone.
