Sequoia Coast i'll whisk away your heartsigh and bury it in mine

the weather had been gray and dreary for a stretch of days that had felt endless until tonight's sunset broke over the cliffs.  it pulled him from himself.  he felt awake again.  he sought a place he might survey the land and found where the cliffside came to an edge.

when he sees her, he thinks he should have stayed down there.  she was having the kind of fun he couldn't bring himself to; vicariously, he stands watching her from above.
