Day 34, cont.

I lay there after my injury and looked out a rectangle of window that's all I could see the sky clouds and a rooftop across the way some spouts and an antenna and about twice a day something out of the ordinary passed by for the ten seconds or so it took to float or fly by. Today there was a plane which has become commonplace and then something red floating -- was it a kite was it a balloon -- it was far enough away I could not discern it but it was red red as if everything else were gray and it floated through the rectangle of the sky for fifteen seconds and I think it healed me at least I ceased feeling like a prisoner because lying there injured working that rectangle of sky a person could feel like a prisoner.
