Brief Conceits will be moving off of Blogger onto a WordPress-powered site. The transition will happen later this week. The web address will remain the same, and if you are subscribed to the RSS that should remain the same as well. Thank you!

December

A thick fog covers the ground like a blanket, and obscures the winter sun. Just above freezing, a light misty rain can be felt but not seen. The unusually still air amplifies echoes of footfalls on cold pavement.

A crow caws on an empty tree that looks like the withered hand of a hundred-fingered skeleton. The landscape that was only days ago brightly colored in the hues of autumn has now all turned to varying shades of gray. It feels like a scene from a movie. You should be at a funeral or delivering some bad news. It is but December.
