By The Living Room Light

October 9, 2023

I saw them sitting there earlier in the day

The third floor balcony

Two women, chatting, with mugs in their hands

I imagined they were filled with warm tea or rich hot chocolate

But it’s still quite warm out to be autumn.

Nevertheless, I envied them

To get lost in long conversations with a close friend

So much so that you don’t notice the sun setting around you

You don’t see that your light source has gone from the sun

To the living room light

Pooling out from the window
