Evening Watch

I navigated across the low tabletop and scaled the sturdy wooden frame of the windowsill. From this vantage, the glass pane offered a broad vista of the dusky street below. Streetlamps had flickered on, casting warm pools of gold along the pavement. Down below, neighbors walked by, greeting each other as they returned home with groceries. Beside me rested an unlit ceramic mug and a small potted succulent. Resting a steady hand against the clay pot, I stood quietly by the glass, taking in the peaceful hum of the neighborhood settling in for the evening. #Superman #DC
