Notes About The Poem

Feeling like a jailbird

Open sky beyond hospital window
Feeling the austerity of that glass pane
Emancipation on the other side



Wordku: 5-7-5 words

I specifically remember a beautiful fall day looking out the cancer clinic window and thinking in there and out there were such polar opposites.
