At Dusk

AT DUSK She cries at the window to be out Runs to the fence which is no barrier Dives under the imprisoning wires The liquid cat Brings memories of times past Outside nothing but ambulance sirens Kisses and hugs are weapons Smell of cold air through the window The cold welcome of Greenland’s chilly arms And daylight seldom seen 13 April 2020
