2004/jay

Pretty day,
a jay pecks
at the oak
above my head.
Leaves and acorns
fall to the roof.
The roof which
needs to be
replaced.
We await an
estimate,
and one for the
termite tenting,
and repair of the
pocket door at
the bathroom
and the saltillo tiles
in the hall.
We know the
French doors
will be $2,500,
the wood floors
$5,000.
We wait
for people to come,
for work to be
done,
for home to
return.
