Cold roof
Monday, October 26th, 2026 at 9:30 pm by Almazbek DosmatovichThe last of the Orionids tonight, but a lot of cloud and a cold wind. We stood on the roof for an hour and counted three. Altynai brought hot tea, and the children brought each other their own news: who has a new phone, who has a new brother, who is leaving for Talas to study.
I am sixty-five. The telescope still wobbles. I am not going to fix it.
Almazbek Dosmatovich, you're allowed to come on Friday. Bring the thermos.
