VIGNETTERain-SmudgedLightsJoyce HuangBlurry window. Iridescent dots loitered on it lazily, swaying with the irregular stops and starts of thecar. Droplets of rain crowded the glass, jostling quietly for space and trailing broken radiance behind them.Outside are the city lights -- they’re always alight and shining, unlike the stars who never keep their word.I leaned against the car window, staring out. The night’s view was made picturesque bythe rain. This seemingly colorless liquid had the magical capability to paint the most vivid and dreamy scenes.Colors stood out in the dark -- though they were in dim light, they somehow seemed more striking than usual.Even the most miniscule amount of brightness was amplified, reflected by and glinting in wavering puddlesand flashing shop windows. They crisscrossed and intertwined to weave a web of light in the night.The sight of the bright night comforted me. Head against the window, the rain’smurmuring? A lullaby resonated through my skull. It was during moments like these when I felt true leisureand serenity. The noise and movements from outside surrounded me, fragments from the ordinarylives of thousands of people putting together this picture of a city. The car drove silently through this picture:so separate and undisturbed it almost seemed ghost-like. Inside the car was an entirely different world-- peaceful and still, like everything’s been frozen by the snap of a camera. What does the photo look like? Aplay of spinning rays against calm shadows, rain-smudged lights painting a picture of contentment and hope.18 www.pluvialitmag.com
