pink lanterns in spring 朝

By the time we reached the house, the sun was sinking and the day had become a soft spring evening.

For some strange reason, lying in this room seemed to bring back old memories that I had rarely if ever recalled before. Some of them were pleasant, but others carried a trace of sadness. How long did this go on? I was so immersed in that torrent of memory (and it was a torrent, like a spring gushing out of the rocks) that I failed to notice her quietly open the door and come in. I opened my eyes, and there she was. I raised my head and looked into her eyes for a time. She was sitting on the arm of the sofa, looking at me. At first I thought she might be an image spun into existence by my own memories. But it was the real her.

"Sleeping?" she whispered.
"No," I said, "just thinking."

She sat down and leaned against me on the sofa. When I put my arm around her, she rested her head on my shoulder and pressed her face to my neck. She stayed like that for a time, almost as if she were taking my temperature.

“April and May were painful, lonely months for me because I couldn't talk to you. I never knew that spring could be so painful and lonely. Better to have three Februaries than a spring like this.”

Holding her, I felt warm in the chest. After a short while, she stood up without saying a word and went out through the door as quietly as she had come in.

"It's not that I think there's anything wrong with this place," I said. "It's quiet, and the surroundings are perfect. But it's not a place to stay for a long time. It's too specialized for a long stay. The longer you're here, I'm sure, the harder it is to leave."

Instead of answering, she turned her gaze to the outside. Beyond the window, there was nothing to see but snow. Snow clouds hung low and heavy in the sky, with only the smallest gap between them and the snow-covered earth.

"Take your time, think it over," I said. "Whatever happens, I'm going to move by the end of March. Any time you decide you want to join me, you can come."

She nodded. I wrapped my arms around her as carefully as if I had been holding a work of art delicately fashioned from glass. She put her arms around my neck.

Every now and then, the snow would fall for a while and stop. The sky never cleared the whole three days I was there.

"I think I can get back here in March," I said as I was leaving.

I gave her one last, heavily padded hug with my winter coat on, and kissed her on the lips.

"Goodbye," she said.

it seems less repetitive than a lot in this genre. the music has variation. the project's structure and use of field recordings also seem high-effort. it remains one of the best malls on mars even today. orsonwiles
