The sun cracks heavy grey clouds,
rushing to spill dazzling light
through the frosty window,
puddling it over carpet.
It catches a solitary tear
on a fuzzy earthbound cheek,
and
suddenly
sets the room on fire
with brilliant
reds
oranges
yellows
greens
and blues.

De was tending the Monday bar at dVerse and “spill” was the word we were to include in a 44-word Quadrille.
