The masterpiece of October is well under way this morning. The cellos count their bars patiently. The violas cling to one glorious note and the violins crescendo.
The river, a soft alto, begins to sing.

The Saco River is running low this time of year. There is a dam upstream that controls the flow, and I suppose the powers that be know what they are doing.
I should come out on the river more often and sit on the rocks. Just stretch out with a pizza and listen to the gurgling and enjoy the breeze. I miss lying on the rocks with my friend. I miss escaping for an hour without a care.
I miss you, little Monk.

It was late October in Boothbay. You had the lobster bisque, and giggled when you slurped into your spoon. You kept your napkin as a souvenir. There was a chill in the air as we crossed the bridge, but you stayed barefoot just the same.
You dared me to, “Kiss me or I’ll jump,” and we kissed and nobody jumped. In fact, I’m not sure we moved at all.
You put your shoes back on. You said you would move to Maine.
The sun sank into the harbor.

I still think about you.
