There Will Be Fall

It's hot. 

Our temperature has been in the 90s every day for nearly a week, making it the hottest five days in September on record. When I go out at night, I'm reminded of the years we lived in Saudi Arabia: a wall of warm darkness wraps around me. 

And yet. 

There is a quality to the light, some unrelenting element missing from the direct sunshine, maybe even a hint of concession in the heat that lets me know it cannot hold.

It is September, after all.
