His Neighbors Window
His neighbors window
has a glass eye,
it spies upon his thoughts
as they drift over
the rim of his morning coffee mug.
Strange portals exist
he sees them everywhere,
orbs that never blink.
At night he shouts at Americans in his dreams.
A window opens wide to shout back,
yet it says nothing,
Once he lived in a tower-block
with many windows.
His own apartment
looked inwards through a keyhole,
and when he was there
he had nowhere to hide.
Now he only sees the flutter of the wind
dancing with unhung drapes.
He shatters glass
rearranges the broken pieces
on the other side
of his see-through life.
