Backlit,
an S-curve silhouette
patters in the bathroom.
Jars and bottles
tapping on the counter.
Frogs peep-singing,
heard through
the window screen.

Nestled,
her match is already
drowsy and dreaming
of puzzle-piecing
the night.

I like this very much, but I can't help feeling like there's maybe a bigger/longer piece here. Maybe I just want there to be more because I like the imagery so much.
