Dead duckling
Gomez text me this morning to walk the dogs with him. After a chilling bayou walk yesterday with the wind cutting through my clothes, I went out with my rubber coat this morning, along with gloves, hat, scarf, etc. He said that yesterday morning he had run into D in her car with a bucket filled with water and a duckling who had gotten lost from the group. They searched in vain for the mother duck and the rest of the ducklings [my last spotting was near the Esplanade bridge], but it was too late, the little duckling died in the bucket.
Who would have a duck right now? I asked him. Who gives birth to little ducks in cold weather? I thought ducks were spring deliveries!
For this, for everything, it moves us not…….
