The clouds are tinged pink against a light denim blue sky. To the right, the sky is white-blue. Clouds already fading to salmon.
Now the clouds have lost all color so I can’t see where they end and the sky begins.
The kids are going inside, one by one.
The trees look tired. New growth pushes off the like oak leaves. I smell the yellow pollen.
Today, my daughter said, speaking of her summer schedule, “I’m not as strong as I think I am.”
Me, too, honey. Me, too.
