… yesterday at 7:15 PM

… the one that came before.

… the way the moon looks behind a whisp of cloud at 3 AM in December.

… camels

… the jar that won’t open.

… fourteen shades to go.

… Christmas of the year you were 14.

… cloves

… the eye of the needle.

… where the current turns west.

… rain on a cold December dawn.

… where you were when it snowed in the Sahara (March 1979).

… the clutch of fear.

… dancing alone in the cornfield.

… the eye of the field.
