Smudged Impression On A Window

Night as it was was stormy
Electric lights browning out suddenly
Howl of wind roaring like ocean
Fresh smell of rain dripping in
Brilliant flashes lighting up the night
Fire warming room with orange ripples
Bubbling stew in black pot
Coffee black against creamy white cup
Something banging in distance
Bellow from some animal, lost perhaps
Smudges on window, tricking downwards
Swaying green branch outside
Tricking sound of water off roof
Both.

Voices, mumbling, low under silence
White teeth smiling through dimness
Coffee cooling and diminishing
Bubbling stew in a crucible of taste
Squeaky chair, rocking slowly
Smell of wet pleasance in air
Tiny indigo flowers smiling from vase
Green twigs smoking in fire
Red hand cut wood are walls
Straw lined shingles complete roof
Large brown implements adorn fireplace
Doors loosely fitting frames
Whistling wind through tiny gaps
Mosquito whining someplace
Pair.

Laughter through home
Red flames dancing in joy
Chair creaking congradulations
Coffee spilt on rough wood floor
Storm subsiding, building up again
Lightning moving back, slowing
Lucid fragrance wafting though air
Moist atmosphere cooling thought
Gratitude with a spoonful of hot stew
Smile with a meaning shining though
Hard floor but soft understanding
Fire low, charred smudges of hot coal
Straw mattress inviting company
One.
