     Red leaves other side of diminishing stream. Air stagnant. Sky blue, clouds, mostly veils. No birds. No traffic. We return to beds, to prayers.

     It is a morning to light the fire pit, to watch flames emerge from glass rocks. It is a morning to avoid sitting where dust drifts as the giants play. It is a morning for coffee in a red cup.

 

It is a July morning in Maine.
