     One Blue Jay, one sentence. Wide blue sky unbroken by clouds. Sun orange, rising captured from hallway. Sleep still in my eyes, the three dreaming. Coffee dripping into a yellow cup. No long legs splay themselves on lee side of railing. No wind. Yesterday, wind gathered strength through the day undoing the blessing of Sunday’s rain. Heavy dew makes opaque car windows. I should check on the hidden garden.

 

Almost a morning to start the furnace humming.
