Remember when I wore your sweatshirt

How I loved you so much that my heart hurt

When we watched the sun dip over the horizon

And everything smelled like cinnamon spice then

Ever since the move, the blue sun kissed skies of the west coast had been replaced with the equally grey skies of London, England.

This anniversary I dread as I step towards the beautiful stone that declares that wonderful name. The rain turns my flowing dress a darker pink. Almost red like my veins still are.

Year after year

Nor’easter storms batter them both

Not to be blamed on El Niño

Impervious to the wind chill

Vortex swirls engulf them

Eruptions of tornadic destruction

Rain upon them in a cyclical pattern

Storm surge passed, a calm returns as the sun rises

Anew ...
