The Time of Her Life
*
It's that time of year.
She doesn't like to think of it as 'Fall'; it makes her think of swimming pools, embarrassment, mistakes. A fall from grace.
She prefers 'Autumn' with its images of gradual maturation and golden leaves; faint lines and morning mists. She likes to think of white hot heat fading to gentle warmth for her to bathe in; walking and kicking and laughing and holding hands. Sun on face, lips on lips. Him in her.
She fell for him in the autumn of her life. And she stores the memories, squirrel-like, to last her when it snows.
