loneliness. though you mentioned 'warmer' the idea of loneliness brought 'coldness' to mind.

My first thought was of the OceanSpray commercial. Why? because my 8th grade sweetheart is the chubby old guy, standing in the bog with the young fellow.

We really don't know what fog is in Tucson, as we rarely see it. I love Carl Sandburg's poem about fog.

the fog ambling over the warmer area is poetic to say the least the lone crow strikes at the heart of the matter not even the fog is there to be his companion; nicely presented, with colour interest as well

much love...
