Winter Sky Transition Over Kettle Steam

by Derrick Franks

A brass kettle sits on the black enamel grate of a vintage gas range, its spout releasing a thick column of white steam that twists upward into the room. Sunlight streams through a north-facing window, illuminating floating dust motes that drift through the air like tiny stars. The living room walls are painted a soft cream, against the dark winter floorboards. Through the large window behind the stove, the sky displays an impossible split: the left side shows a bright late-morning blue with soft clouds, while the right side transitions sharply into a deep, star-filled night. The steam catches the light, appearing solid and textured as it rises, bridging the gap between the domestic interior and the celestial divide outside. A small crack in the window pane reflects the dual sky, anchoring the surreal moment to the physical room.
