chatter downwind fills up the glass baubles strung from the ceiling and Zak shifts back and forth older and yellower, still angry as ever but Kynlee softens him with her wide eyes and inquiring gaze, one leg to the next, a sudden raucous behind the white paned doors, but the crickets find their way back into the hum-- Sometimes it just gets to be too much he says, and we both look across the way where a sliver of his wife can be seen in the evening glow-- and I don't answer him because we are no longer children with a response for everything, or teenagers with an affinity for bragging two adults with financed metabolisms and organized problems more chatter, a bit of song. I am the last unmarried sibling. I loll back on my heels and press in to the quick air between us yeah, I say.     yeah.

Still Angry.
