Living room

A white bloom that opens only after dark, when the conservatory goes quiet.

Petals still warm from the morning sun, sweetened by a bite of lychee.

Old wood, still holding the glow of a slow fire.

Rose petals pressed into dark, smoky wood.

Citrus groves under full sun — warm rind, bright air.

A warm evening by the conservatory stove.

The smell of a lawn cut at dawn, before the day warms up.

Woodsmoke and spice drifting through a snow-framed window.

Clean mountain air, bark underfoot, snow on the wind.
