1.

sunlight pours 

through a curtained window –

he sighs

2.

she moans:

her skin sweats

in summer’s heat

3.

she rubs 

her abdomen

and whispers a name

4.

a child’s laughter

echoes across

shuttered doors

5.

fires burn,

people stand

on the side of the road

6.

she sobs

on my shoulder –

the lights wink out

7.

as stars alight,

our evening 

draws us close
