Description
Rays of sun touch the pasture, caressing it. Oranges and yellows patter up and around the house, searching for shadows of night to cheer. They find the sleeping baby and fix him with a smile. They glint across the mirror, towards the woman. They creep up the floor, the pillow, catching her face. Eyelids open, blinking, closing. Open. She smiles as dreams fade. By the bedroom door her husband’s slippers, where she’ll trip over them.
