Windows

SOURCE

From my window

I see yours

With the blinds partly closed

I could tell by that little light

And the occasional shadows

When you stand beside it

I made a career out of sitting

beside this window

and counting the minutes

from the time you open them

to the moment you come out

to say hi

for a time it was shut

there were no shadows

only sounds

of laughter

and sometimes silence

now it is mostly just silence

and no more blinds

and I could count the minutes

from the time you open them

to the moment you come out

but you no longer say hi
