September - October,

A shift in my internal temperature meter and still I'm wondering where she's standing in all this. Is she reading a book or dancing with a lover?

09.27.23 - Along the Pacific Coast Highway. Turns out the Pacific is the ocean in my recurring nightmare of a beach shore that I try to swim in but is too cold, deep, dark and rough so all I can do is gasp for breath.
