A Sunday Afternoon

The crinkled plaster, stained the color of a bruised orange, remains dry.

The dark white
clouds of a cold April sky
on a Sunday

drape over
the watchful pine trees in the wind..
standing so close.

The cold Spring air is damp, the shower drenches her pallid skin; she touches her wet bun tentatively without looking at her face in the mirror.
