False Knees by Joshua Barkman for February 11, 2019

True. Just soak in the beauty.

Now all he needs is somebody there to share it with him.

Blue Jay way.

Great artwork. There is meditation in that last panel. Many of us humans have lost the ability to appreciate beauty such as that.

It’s wonderful, but my jays didn’t get the memo. You should hear their language!

They’re linguistically talented, actually. Most jays shriek “Thief! Thief!” but Wisconsin jays shriek “Dieb! Dieb!” (It’s true, I’ve heard them.)

Good.

There’s a certain slant of light

On winter afternoons

When it comes

The landscape listens

Shadows hold their breath
