The sun rises earlier than I remember.
A break of dawn before 4:19…
.
The Mules are illuminated behind me.
The sun reaches out.
.
Time passes and the light extends.
The dots in the distance change their focus.
.
Those are not stars.
Construction equipment. Cars.
.
Trucks and great big lights.
(Re)Building a wall.
.
My fever went back up again.
Woke up after 3.
.
Thought it was midnight.
Saw the room light.
.
Nope.
No more sleep.
.
Head hurts.
Exhausted.
.
Dogs have way more energy.
Back outside…
.
Time for meds.
Time for coffee.
