When Crow Fair ends, soon, so does summer.
And a new semester.
Barely prepped in time.
There were so many towns across Montana, darling book stores.
A dramatic book. Burning, emotional and daunting. Two years to tell the story.
It is finally behind me.
Is that why summer was so fast?
Now surrounded by the beauty of art and culture. To create again, with the eyes and hands of a genius.
To have a master as a friend turns my writing from sorrow to bliss.
