Breeze highlights abstract leaves on curtains. Sky blue. Grass needs cutting. Muddied pond during rain, now settled into mirror. No birds sing. No birds have graced the fence in days. Sparse spider strings, I brush away.
Animal crackers in a custard cup, supplements in another. Coffee in a red mug, hot, not steaming. Music in my ears.
What comes next is mystery.
