Soot Stained Poker on Cafe Table at Twilight

Neon reflections dance across a curved metal fireplace poker resting on a worn wooden cafe table. The object bears visible soot marks and polish wear along its shaft, with scuffed edges catching the dim light. Behind the tool, sheer curtains filter the twilight glow, casting soft blue shadows that stretch across the tile floor. The tiles show subtle variations in texture, hinting at a space open to the salt-air freshness of the turn of seasons. Shallow depth of field blurs the window frame while keeping the metal's rough surface sharp. A faint smudge of black residue marks the table surface directly beneath the poker's tip.
