Something a friend said

It’s been a tough year at our house. Our particular issues are unique–but who isn’t struggling right now?

A friend said recently to me, “It’s been the kind of year that turns your lights out.” And isn’t that it? Yes. That’s it, right there, for me anyway. I’m trying to write a poem worthy of that line, but for now I’ll just put this picture I took of a sunset in northern Germany. If you can’t keep the light on in your life, you have to try to hang on to its memory. That’s the best I cant think to do, anyway.
