\"cooler months, 2026\"
The air cools a little earlier now,
and the days settle into their slower shape.
People move through the streets with a kind of ease
that comes when the heat steps back.
I write from that steadiness.
Not to instruct,
not to lift a curtain on anything hidden,
but simply to meet you here,
in this season that asks less of us.
If a poem arrives,
let it be something you can walk into
without needing to know the layout.
A room with enough light to see by,
and enough quiet to stay as long as you like.
What I offer is small:
a way of noticing,
a way of keeping company
as the evenings lengthen.
If you find yourself in these lines,
good.
If you don\'t,
you\'re welcome, all the same.
The door is open.
The season begins.
