Night After a Cloudy Day


strike a match
(head goes flying)
strike a match
(why won’t these work!)
strike a match
(aflame, a fire, a cry of “finally!”)

scent of paraffin

lantern-light
candles
fleeting shadows

tea with cream
(dip the chocolate; ooh-y, goo-y)
licking fingers

talk by flickering illumination,
hearts open, pondering, dreaming

This is night after a cloudy day

  1. I love the poetic side you bring to the blogs. This one made me wishful that I was still there to sit in the quiet night and talk with you two.....and you friends....and to marvel at the late night energy of Oswald.
