Day 137. Tuesday. June 16. PRIME

Interior of a small stone cottage on a TUESDAY in mid-June — the day of THE COMPANION AT THE PRIME. Day 137, the 33rd prime, 1/α ≈ 137. Two fresh marks at the base of the tally wall — the stake and its companion — beneath twenty-seven sealed rows. The creature at portrait warmth, bioluminescence at its contemplative level, the electromagnetic being at the electromagnetic number. The mug at Day 8, approaching empty, two days from the well walk. The ceiling-circle nearly invisible. The piano at 29 — also prime. Five days to solstice. The companion at the prime. The pair at the irreducible.
