The Last Day of Summer
The two of you came to a beach where no one swims anymore.
You came to a beach where no one swims anymore. Most of the stalls are shut, and you can hear them packing up. Half a day, spent where summer used to be.
One Summer
Three days at the end of a season, each one a little longer than it needed to be. The festival is loud somewhere else, and neither of you says anything about next year.
Waiting for the First Train
The trip you said you'd take became real the same day.
Talk of going somewhere far away became real the same day. Three hours until the first train, and neither of you has brought anything worth calling luggage. You spend the wait without quite deciding where you're going.
Until It Stops
Only one umbrella between you. No sign of it letting up.
Caught in the rain while out, you ducked into a shop nearby. Only one of you has an umbrella. The rain shows no sign of stopping, and closing time is still a long way off. How will you two pass the time until it stops?
