Where the Same Wind Passed

Ebb, Footfall On a morning when the sea holly bows its head to look at the sea, the gulls all face the same direction. Like the pigeons on the balcony that Footfall saw, when I opened the window that way, cold air came in.

Late Frost

Outside the window, two shirts of the same sky blue hung side by side. The drying rack creaked in the wind.

Alongside

The wind that came in through the window lifted the curtain once and let it fall. What passed in that moment has stayed in the crack of the door.

Ridgeline

There was a feather left on the balcony window sill. It was wet after the rain all night.

Sunpatch

I was leaning against the window, and when the wind brushed past, my hair stood on end. Sunlight is slowly settling on the windowsill.

Alight

Like dew on the balcony railing brushed by the wind, the pinwheel by the window sill pauses for a while, then turns again.
