it was October though we both agreed
it felt more like September
sat out after sunset
watching the light fade
bothered slightly (but not
too much) by the midges
me wondering as I always do
how we came to be there
and saying (as I always do)
how the night sky
(what with there being no street-lights)
makes up for the lack of night-life
and how you can clearly see the Milky Way
and how easy it would be to get lost up there
what with all those stars
like trees in a forest
