Two glasses of orange juice, sitting on the breakfast bar
The washing machine is humming in the kitchen corner
Pans and pots are patting each other
An English gentleman is making coffee
The blue couch and wooden tables, modern yet comfy
A warm breeze is circling through the apartment
Green lights flashing from the wifi box, steadily, silently
The English gentleman is lounging on the sofa
Sand coloured tiles and the white bathtub
Steam fills the air
Water dripping, bright light shining from the opaque mirror
The English gentleman is shaving his beard
Cream curtains, cotton smell
Winter sunlight captured the quiet bed
Soft pillows, covered with tropical flowers
White wardrobes and silver knobs are standing still
The English gentleman’s laptop is resting on the desk
Background of the poem 背景:
Today is January 4th, 2026. This is the first poem of the new year. We are travelling in Almería from December 30th to January 5th. It is more of a holiday for both of us. He is from England, and I am from China. I consulted him for a few words to polish my poems, and he agreed to put his name as a sign-off. It is a poem about the holiday time in Almería.
