The sun seeps through a gap
and paints a golden disc on the peach-coloured wall. I open the curtains; afternoon light spills in. The sight of the azure sky transports me to a hot summer evening that I spent with you. We walked hand in hand by the stream. Rays bounced off the surface: a shimmering snake of liquid crystal. Laughter mingled with the sound of chirruping grasshoppers. Ox-eye daisies spied on us: swirling yellow spots surrounded by lashes. We were happy to be alive in that moment. As darkness creeps in, the sun—a splash of honey in the clouds—seems to melt into the chimney tops. Still I'm dreaming of you.
