today was the first day of fall and i saw no signs of cinnamon spice or pumpkins or apple pie and there was no chill in the air.
counting on the second day of fall to get its act together. extremely disappointing turn of events.

Picturing a Chinatown Family Across Twenty-two Years
More than two decades ago, the Lams invited Thomas Holton, a photographer, to their apartment for dinner. He’s been part of the family ever since.

been reading (and loving) ada limón’s collection, Bright Dead Things, lately and thinking about that one scene in The Notebook where Noah shouts “If you’re a bird, I’m a bird!”
and although I’ve never been a fan of birds, I think it must be quite lovely to become a bird with/for someone.
