Evergreen

Green.

In endless shades. Burnt yellow. Washed emerald. Blushing blue. Breaking brown.

He sat there.

Slaps of bashful froth on silky rocks occasionally punctuated a creeping night. Hours following distant twinkles got lost in the black. Unseen, it crumpled soft in his palm. Just as always.

This night, however, would never end. Never again.

Ever.
