all is past, he tells her, all is healing, all is well; in his eyes, though, transparent and blue, is a sadness that belies his story.
circumstance has tatted his existence into a mystifying intricacy, and she wants to reach, touch, reassure him: that someday, though the curtain may stay draped, he
will see the fineness of the filaments and not the empty grimness in between.
Yes, but what is that on the window sill? Photo?
ReplyDeleteNice one, great curtains.
The cropping is exquisite, the color is striking, the textures are elegant, and the photograph on the sill is a deep mystery.
ReplyDeleteNice composition!
ReplyDeleteEnough about the photo...your WRITING never fails to knock me out...
ReplyDeletea mystery story, a sad love story... anyway, place to the imagination! Great photo and great introduction for a fiction...
ReplyDeleteyour lyrical prose makes me so proud to be your mom, Lynn (tho' what is left unsaid, and its connection to the photo, leaves me hanging! and I hate to be left hanging!)
ReplyDeleteSometimes we are so used to dumbed down prose and images, spelling out the obvious and insulting our intelligence, that your prose comes as a refreshing gem.
ReplyDeleteJust a glimpse, some well polished words to chisel a moment, letting our mind to wander and complete the story with our own sensibilities. Your unfinished words, yet complete in freezing a snapshot of a story, resonate in us.
Some of your best work Lynn!
