Walk.

Reflections of thin birch shiver in a dark pool. These woods are pitted with small circular coal scrapings from another age. A deers velvet antlers glow in the half light as a buzzard skews its presence. The wind picks up, veering to the east. Means cold. I startle a hare, it hurdles dead thistles, grass, away. First spots of rain.
