Lights Through a Window

lights through a window

the knock that never shakes
my door is a sound
who screams

bleeding ears
bleeding brain
quiet nights without pain

(press that eye with your finger)

writers typing letters

noises in the hall

(they can see the bright light)

lost in a dream

blurred faces that never speak

to me.  Boring lines

forced in the sand…

				all sonatas are lost
                                                                        poetry is a death match
                                                                                                                      striking the 
wick….(burn in a name and dry brain)

--will there be birds in the window—

                            ?

at the end of the long darkness there will be life in your window as dawn breaks
