October 31
Crossroads in Amber and Red
The traffic pauses, green and red,
Above the empty sweep of street;
While old brick arches overhead,
Where past and quiet shadows meet.
October closes at the heart of the city—Four Corners at Main and Fulton. While the mountains and waters of the foothills have carried much of the month’s narrative, there is a grounding presence to standing under the hum of streetlights and historic brickwork after the town has gone quiet. Clean, crisp night air, clear roads, and the steady architecture of home.
