Fourteen Coats Deep

Blue, Briefly

A Blue Andalusian rooster with slate-blue plumage in a powder-blue linen suit jacket with white pocket square, perched at the mossy stone edge of an ornamental reflecting pool with green-tinged water, his reflection visible in the still surface below, classical stone arches in warm bokeh behind, diffused late morning light

He had been assured the colour would hold, which is what they always say about the things that don't. Fourteen million toward the surface and not a cent toward the depth — an allocation he found, if anything, familiar.
