Sunday morning coming down

It's another drizzlegrey Portland day.

A part of me misses the clear sharp thin Interstate sun between Laramie and Rawlins, the incessant sandblast roar of ground blizzards, the uneasy backseat understanding that life is a delicate ricepaperpaper thing.

G told me about two magpies in the trees yesterday: they were quiet, picking things from the branches in the cold. I thought about how their racousness could give way to tenderness sometimes.

And I remembered the gang of them in the field by the donut shop on Tudor: the adults swooping down and landing on top of the plywood sign, the fledgelings overshooting and tumbling in the twilight grass. Learning.

List:
  • miso paste
  • wakame (or kombu)
  • umeboshi
