Dog Days

Daylight like a distant fight, but the blows ring out as clear as candy winter. Blue sugar like a snowflake on a stick for them to hold against their tongues to keep from talking. The concept of fake snow doesn’t register when I mention it to them. They stop running their handsaws on the tree […]
