after we had eaten
papa and i washed the dishes
while Midori dried them with a cloth.
it felt different - but good
to have someone else in the house.
almost as if a space was being filled
a shadow being lit up and pushed away.
later on in the evening
papa wanted to watch his usual tv show
so i decided to show Midori my room.
it was ordinary-
a plain bed, small cupboard space so that clothes were hanging out
preventing the doors from closing properly,
and a desk in the corner.
the centerpiece of the room was the window
that ran across one wall
letting the moonlight cast its light across the bed
and illuminating the room in a blue-white glow.
we sat on my bed and crossed our legs under ourselves
just silently agreeing to watch the world outside
past the billowing curtains in the night breeze.

the moon dyed our skin,
our hair
our eyes
blue.
and all at once
the ocean truly materialised beside me
blending into me
as we existed quietly together.
