Dust Sheets

A Silver-Grey Dorking rooster with silvery-white hackles, a solid black breast, a glossy black tail and a large red single comb, in a tan waxed-canvas chore coat with a brown corduroy collar, cut to fit a bird, standing on scaled pale pink rooster legs with talons on the seat of an old wooden spindle-back chair in a knotty-pine lakeside cottage, a sofa and armchair draped in white dust sheets around him, a lattice-topped red berry pie in a glass dish with one slice gone, a folded tea towel and a wooden canoe paddle on a pine table beside him, a half-closed louvred shutter and a window behind showing a grey lake and a far shore of red, orange and green autumn trees under an overcast sky
