“Just north of where I grew up there was an awesome bay on Lake Superior called Batchawana Bay. You could walk out for what felt like a mile and the water would still only be up to your knees. The water was warm and the sand was perfect. I miss that place.”. (Graham Annable)

August is the coldest month of the year winter moves six months forward and this is not the South Pole here is not the South Pole August The alarm clock breaks the silence Someone is on vacation and she sounds for hours How cold it is August looks out on a sick heart five o’clock in the evening and it’s already pitch dark winter in August the ice settles and covers things the waiting for the warm freezes also the dead How cold it is If it is not true that you’re afraid it’s not true that you feel alone it’s not true that it’s cold why are you trembling in this August? August is written on your calendar maybe you slept six months but you’re so tired so tired August is the coldest month of the year in the other hemisphere they call it winter August
