a young woman reads her phone at night framed by a window

like a tablet of antiquity

soft blue curls reflecting her plush skin

her head gently tilted

every atom of the night black behind her tense like a circus about to commence

her warm face a distraction of modernity flickering

her thoughts are elsewhere like a memory

a photograph as if they exist at all in these days

an image any poet struggles to paint
