The bedroom was dark, it’s two small windows facing west, soft and silent against the dawn. ‘We got snow’, she whispered, ‘lots of it’. Pretending not to hear, breathing… in the same shallow, even rhythm, not yet ready to open the day, knowing she’d be back with coffee and such, I slept another moment only to dream of you while she built birdhouses from popsicle sticks and thought of some other reason to wake me. |

Duncan, the melancholy flows wonderfully here. Love it! It reminds me of one of my own. I amy dig it out and dust it off. Thanks for the great read! |

AHEM! Jiminy needs to have a talk with you. Not that it will do any good. Besides, Jiminy has been found within that same moment, more than once. I always built beautiful birdhomes from popsicle sticks, but the birds never seemed to stick around no matter how nice the home was designed!
