i never want to feel lonely again
notes on autumn
each day the dark comes faster and i am not ready
i could leave
go south, where she waits longer to close her eyes
pay the boys to hide me from aging
i never want to feel lonely again

also - not that related, but very cool, today i learned about the irish goddess cethlenn. she was a powerful warrior associated with darkness and winter. “cethlenn’s embrace” is a poetic term from irish mythology symbolizing the onset of winter.
