snow

falls rapidly in Bristol this morning, where I've been visiting my sister for the last couple of days. In 3 hours, I'll be on a flight to Amsterdam, and then Vienna.

The night before last, a woman was raped in the shadow of the church right next to my sister's home. Yesterday, the whole area was cordoned off; police stood guard at each end. I don't know why the snow is connected to the rape in my mind. A kind of grief descending from the sky.
