Condensation

Condensation

Moisture brought together,
a skin of thickened steam

coating the boxed glass
of the windows. The process

by which a screen of water,
a textured, sheer shade

appears on a surface.
The opposite of evaporation.

An exhalation that sends
liquid into air, and an obstacle

to collect this breath. Thermal
discrepancy that yields fenced fog,

cross-sectioned finely into film.
Condensation is the phase,

the medium with which matter
renders and removes itself.
