Monday

A crow croaks from the shadows of a pine tree.
A bright red cardinal sings sonorously from the tippy top of a bare tree, while a fat oily starling watches on from the branches below.
The sun is pale and distant up in the afternoon sky.
Snow melts silently.
The river at night, it's dark surface scalloped by small waves.
Tall, fluffy river grass swaying in the wind.


Saturday

Warm sunlight with real weight & presence on my pale face.
Snow melting & the sound of water dripping.
A white seagull careens overhead in a large arc.
Katze rolls about in the sunlight.
Open blue skies hold the fine day lovingly.
