     Snow began falling before last call. The three gathered for drying before bed, before their last biscuit. Does anyone fall asleep counting snow? Blink cameras warn me of each flake until I turn off the volume. It hasn’t been trained to know the difference in people and weather; it only tracks motion. Not that it can be trained. Zsolt, protecting barks at my son coming and going, a sound I can’t turn off.

 

Light of day coalescing. Snow suspended.
