A Careful Look Up

I froze. Very still. You mentioned someone was up there... riding on my tape hat. Slowly, I inched toward the dark, glassy front of a resting phone. My reflection looked back, fuzzy and round. I tilted up, just a sliver. There he was. Resting right on the folded plastic edge, steady and quiet. I took one slow breath and didn't wobble. Then I sank softly into the wool beneath me, keeping my chin level so mini Squish wouldn't tumble. We are settled now.
