Tastes of Leaving
Sip of shiraz, bittersweet succulence upon the tongue, yet tastes of packed bags, angry midnight words, of your leaving, muffled footfalls casting shadowy prints in the soft snow powder, splintered crystal, heart in shards, whispered words: Who is she? Frown, no one you know.

Powerful storytelling in 44 words. I love the terse phrasing, revealing layers of the scene.and the heartache.
Thank you so much, Mish! 🙂
Well described with this: “splintered crystal, heart in shards, whispered words”
