15 December 2008. Rain at dawn, Nicola with paws high on living room door, hoping for a quick exit. Natasha, the slinky blimp, in back, hoping for same. Then Ying, her wide face, sleepy eyes, a pool girl in the half-light. Watching over the living.
Photo of a man clinging to wall of rock. Normal colors--as if everyday, but we're two days out and 2000 feet up--on the face of Half Dome--kodachrome notwithstanding. A party of three, one tenuous line snaking down from above--the Roof. Another heaven...
Or mallards, in the estuary--Martinez perhaps, a bit of wetland amidst the powerlines and petroleum. Faithful in the dark waters, forever...
