It Will Be OK

A week and a half ago, in Kansas City, after packing up the show on Sunday, I first notice the creep of darkness just before seven. Today, it is a cascading river as I walk home after day's work. Soon all will be an impenetrable pool at five-thirty. No more throwing on bike shorts and shirts, filling water bottles, and riding out Highway 20 to Woodbine after work. The corn grows brittle, the soybeans hunker down. Beyond the crest of the hill we ride, the sky is all pinks and smoky grays, like a moon shell, the lunatia hero all unwhorled across corn stalk and hickory shoulders. The combines are out; the acorn and walnut fall. We will lie tucked under lunatia's arm—content with long nights, remembering ocean call in rustling corn, disappearing into pages turning—with feet unclipped from pedals, on the couch.

  1. Very well-written article with practical educational value. Law students often face challenges when preparing criminal law assignments that require detailed legal interpretation and case-based analysis. Professional academic guidance can make these tasks more manageable. I recently explored criminal law assignment help in australia services that offer expert assistance and research-based solutions. Such support helps students meet deadlines while maintaining academic quality and accuracy.
