Melancholia

Late evening moon rise,
Woodburner roar,
The room dark.
Shadows from the fire
Jump spaces.

She leans into her chair,
Legs up and arms wrapped
Around her knees,
Stares at the flames.

That fiery dance,
The start of it all.

She shakes away
The wistful memory,
Disentangles the claws
Of the past from her
Mending heart.

The night ages.
She doesn’t move.
The fire whispers.
Sleep in here
Is her relief.

He gave a pained, #wistful sigh as he patched the fence for maybe the hundredth time. Everything here had been wrought of his own hand, and everything was falling apart. It had been pristine once.

This place had meaning. Pretty soon it would lose that too.

I remember the days when I could come home from work, pack, and go on a three week intercontinental trip the next morning… #wistful #memories

"What am I doing, Roughneck?"
"It's not my place to say, sir."
Curtains gave him a #wistful glance, then spun the empty tumbler around on the bar with a finger until the bartender brought the bottle of Kalanova over and refilled it.
"She's pregnant," he said, then downed the shot
"So you said, sir."
He went to spin the tumbler again when Roughneck grabbed it.
"I think you've had enough, sir."
"Curse, you, Roughneck," Curtains growled. "If I could stand, you'd be in a world of hurt."

Once a Shangri-La, this disused picnic nook symbolizes the transient nature of utopias. The abandoned corporate campus evokes loneliness and decay.

Weather report lied!
They warned of torrential rain.
Could have ridden bike.

Know what I miss on the commute and weekend train travels? The train tea trolley. One of life’s little pleasures now gone. #tea #rail #trains #wistful
