NaHaiWriMo - the house

Living room


seated
in front of the TV
she snores

assise
devant la télé
elle ronfle


I've been told I need a juxtaposition - what is she not watching? So . . .

death and destruction
on TV news loop
she snores


or:


wild west shoot out -
in front of the TV
she snores

or:


alone together

in front of the TV
snoring


Bedroom

fresh sheets
on the double bed
hers, all hers

Bathroom

subdued lighting
lavender bubble bath
and toy dinosaurs

lumière douce
mousse lavande
et dinosaures en plastique

tub on balcony
hot water, screen of trees
and constant sleet


Dining Room

candlelight
silverware and glass
TV dinner

Wardrobe

in the wardrobe
behind her summer clothes
his sandals

dans l'armoire
derrière ses robes
ses sandales à lui


Garage


in the corner
of an old drawer
a robin’s nest

dans le tiroir
d’une vielle commode
un nid de rouge-gorge

kitchen

spring sunshine
first bike ride of the year ends
time for a cuppa

soleil du printemps
promenade à vélo
grand café chez moi
