The sky opens up,
a wet cut
spilling it’s warm fluid.
Inside, I watch
the windows fog over,
tracing absent hearts with
melancholy fingertips.

tracing absent hearts with
melancholy fingertips. wow I love that line… very atmospheric; and great details of the sky… the wet cut, spilling it’s warm fluid. I imagined an almost bodily way of downpour like blood, Brought life to this. very nice.

Sensual, short, encompassing & noting the humidity, where the heat returns in part to steam; a clean & clever write.

I too like the atmosphere in your poem as well as the looking out / looking in movement and all that is not said.
