In the Bleak Midwinter
Joel stared at the trees with their gray limbs stretching into gray clouds and their roots covered in gray snow.
Joel thought he was used to gray winters but he had never see winter arrive this early or this quickly. It wasn't even October.
A couple of brown leaves clung steadfastly to the tips of twigs.
He was used to the psychedelic bonfire of leaves in Central Park in the fall that made even the most rushed New Yorker pause in wonder. The leaves in Cicely had simply faded to brown before falling, robbing him of even that simple pleasure.
