Window marks seeped into my knees

Shimmer, Footfall Upside-down maple trees sway for a moment in the ripples, then sink again. When I stood up from the floor, window marks had seeped into my knees.

Footfall

A cat sitting in the shade outside the window was licking its own shadow. I stood there for a long time, I don't know why.

Ridgeline

When I stood up from sitting on the floor, there was a window mark pressed into my knees. I've had that kind of mark on my sleeve before. It was the pattern of shade the sunlight made passing the window frame.

Beyond

The clouds reflected in the window glass slowly pass over the back seated on the floor.

Alongside

I was sitting on the glass floor by the window, tracing the shadows of passing clouds with my hand.

If you sit by the window for a long time, the shadows the sunlight leaves on the paper slow down like incoming waves.
