Not precisely in keeping with today’s prompt, but not exactly far off either. Just trying to relax and get back on track, for the moment.

Evening Impression
by Kalyiel
Suspended between your lips – a whisper;
Behind the curtained window – a reflection,
A fleeting impression of the light on glass.
This time yesterday there was a doubt
Ahead of us, a possibility. The tile
Has been replaced since. I can sense
The rain coming at the temple;
A smell as of fresh ashes has broken in.
The room feels like a crematory,
With the plaster falling off
In uncanny imitation of endangered species.
The water is boiling over.
