The sun bled around a ruined rose statue by the time I found the trail. I observed a family of lost deer struggling through a creek, and we were both watched by the husks of countless faded automobiles. A well-rusted water park towered like an abandoned god across the highway. At a tiny beach, I piled ordinary stones into an imaginary leyline.
I had never seen a blossom shed it's petals until today; tender pink pieces peeled away from sepal. Unexpected and underwhelming and unattractive.
I ran until dark, where the memory of an old lover waited for me. We held hands and chased the clouds from the horizon with aluminum laughter before she escorted me into mono no aware, and the long and lonely walk back.
