The mirror tastes him
breath clouds
hands pressed against glass
in yellow morning light
a jay
flutters in unaccustomed
silence
from bush to limb of elm
a cow at breakfast
pauses
her jaws lax in momentary stillness
far off a milk truck
rattles
on the section road
light low mist
floats
over the buckwheat
through the orchard
the neighbor's dogs bark
then four roosters announce
day.
