window half open
yellow curtain dances
tattered
faded
peeling paint on the pane
milky layers of
white
ivory
white again
stain on the curtain
a battle scar
of family gatherings past
perhaps unruly mustard
or a feisty deviled egg
yellow curtain
oh the life you’ve seen

would you believe nothing in reality? I just have this image of an open window with this yellow, faded curtain dancing in the breeze--that just represents summertime to me....there's a lawnmower off in the distance and the smell of fresh cut grass is wafting in. I hear the clink, clink, clink of spoon against glass as I stir a pitcher of lemonade...it's all very real in my head. LOL
