Week 3: Slow Dancing in a Burning Room

This image reminds of, I'm a little embarrassed to say, John Mayer's song "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room." I think because of the title of the song. (I just re-read the lyrics and the content is less than great). The initial image that the phrase "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" conjures feels something like what is pictured here.

While I was in Chicago this past weekend, I woke up to this scene--deep beet red curtains that only allowed in slivers of light from the morning sun. It felt warm and isolating in ways. Waking up in an unfamiliar place with scratchy sheets, room bleak, and tired from a day of traveling. The light piercing through as an unequivocal sign to start the day's work.

Words: slicing, isolating, morning, warm, resistant to wake up.
