Night rules the cemetery.

Spike closes his eyes.

If he closes his eyes, he doesn't have to see the leaves falling like red and gold raindrops through his body.

If he closes his eyes, he doesn't have to remember that his hand passes through trees he used to be able to lean against.

If he closes his eyes, he doesn't have to think about how he is stuck between life and death...between summer and winter.

If he closes his eyes, he doesn't have to recall that it's his first season without the one person who truly knows him...Buffy....
