the seasons have changed

and so have we.

one day, years and years and years ago my mother father brother and i moved into this house.
it was new and big and the garden was a jungle, with grass that rose higher than my head.
and next to it was an orchard, wild and overgrown. my parents put a swing up on the largest apple tree.
there was a old lady who lived next door.

today, we prepare to leave, and travel to separate destinations.
boxes pile up to the ceilings and cupboards are empty. the garden, our tamed eden, shows the colours of autumn.
yesterday a digger came and flattened the orchard. they cut down the trees and threw the swing into a pile of broken wood.
the old lady who lived next door's funeral was on tuesday.

it feels like there is a force in the world telling me that now is the time to go. but yet, it is hard to leave.

sometimes we are not the ones who decide our lives. other people's actions and choices dictate our futures. we are forced into boxes, and we are powerless. we are like pieces of furniture, packaged up and shipped away.

i can't help wishing i was the little girl running through the long grass again.







a note. i have taken up a job until january to raise money. it is every weekend. all day, both days. by the time i get home from school, it is dark. i don't have many opportunities to take photos. i'm sorry.

A storm is coming, Frank says / A storm that will swallow the children / And I will deliver them from the kingdom of pain / I will deliver the children back the their doorsteps / And send the monsters back to the underground / I’ll send them back to a place where no-one else can see them / Except for me .
