i want the leaves to stay
on the trees (gold and red
and everywhere extraordinary)
until you come home again,
so the place you grew up
is still resplendent, vivid
and inviting, to welcome you,
beckon you back before
the trees are bare and winter
sets its teeth. life is long
and memories fleeting stories
we tell ourselves at night
when the rain pounds down
and the wind sets about
dismantling autumn's pageantry
and i wish only that you are
safe, and curious, and always
on some grand trajectory
that brings you whistling by
this house on a pond in the woods
where your old man waits
and wonders in wonder.
Brian Williamson totally used Timothy Dalton as a face double for Nightingale in Action at a Distance and I cannot tell you how much I LOVE. IT. And I like the art style, love when it's all sketchy like this. And the colouring by Stefani Renne is all nice and toned down and just oooo I love it. Has a very 70's detective film vibe.
