[dverse] October 19 - The Window Keeps Buffering

The window screens the garden
into moth, leaf, gate:
pixels of evening.

My face loads.
Behind it, the gate opens
onto a room
that was never there.

A cup trembles on the sill.
No hand. No call.
Only my reflection,
mouth moving
before mine.

~ Oizys.
