Moonlight fades but the driveway glows even whiter. The underside of a discarded surgical mask, under a drift of pine needles. Red throated, yellow-billed, white-banded: each loon's lonely cry. Startled Odocoileus virginianus: the fawn's small pennant, its mother's indignant flag. Creamy hydrangea petals, as though outlined by non-photo blue pencil.
