Day 241 of 2026
βThe Sun's Long Patienceβ
INVENTORY: GARDEN, LEFT
1 wheelbarrow, tipped, one rust-fleck further along than yesterday
6 scooters, handlebars canted at exhausted angles, wheels frozen mid-turn
1 trampoline, net sagging under a week's collected dew, unclimbed
1 football, deflated, wedged into the compost bin's shadow, no longer trying to be round
2 raised beds, fleece gone stiff as bark, breathing under it somewhere
1 skipping rope, chalk-faded, coiled where it fell mid-throw
Bare fruit trees: black branches, no fruit, no leaves, arms up anyway
1 sun, crossed low, shed to fence, in one unbroken gold breath
