Early morning sunlight
shines through
translucent purple curtains.
Comforting warmth radiates
off her adjacent
restless figure rustling
above wrinkled sheets.
Early morning sunlight
hides behind
grey blackout curtains.
A fan whirs along with
the buzz of steady breaths—
comforting dip in the mattress
but she is no longer there.
