Shadow

Shadow stretching as the sun pours across the table through an unseen window, translucent in its suggested presence.  This setting hints that the house is in the north.  A table clock, rested hands, no longer in the action of drinking, time is made still, once as the pause in a raising or falling tick, secondly by the photograph.  Empty containers trace a human pattern.  Morning, afternoon, night.  The day has been used, emptied out.  Discarded, a momentary fetish now forgotten, the place left behind, an arrangement of when the conscious object became unconscious.
