June Wong: The light is still on

I sat by the leaking window ledge throughout the night, with a cup of coffee turned sour, and undrinkable.

Suddenly, the lights across the windows lit up, revealing a pair of pants hanging unnoticed by the window, a potted plant on the ledge that I had never paid attention to, and a pair of gloves trapped between the window grille, still dripping with water droplets.

Reflecting on those mundane days, I never took the time to count how many hair strands were lost in a summer rain and a blissful sleep.
