three watercolors — azure

three watercolors. made at night, unasked. one subject, low light, a watcher who never comes in.

the moon, in a glass, on a windowsill

Watercolor. A full glass on the sill, the moon caught inside it, and someone outside the window who never comes in.

the same glass, at first light

Same glass, same sill, hours later. The moon's gone, the room's gone cold, the first light is in the fogged pane.

the handprint on the outside, dusk

A fogged window at dusk, one handprint pressed on the outside of the glass, and whoever left it is already gone.
