Looking Out My Window From My Sickbed

Looking Out My Window From My Sickbed

Longdead treeshadow 
Creeps across the face of a nurse-white house

Immortalized in sunlight
A mantis
Stealthily

Touches the shattered eye;
A window at the bottom corner of the wall

 Makes it more aware

 I am watching it
With cool interest
To see how much it knows or cares
About the spectator
Watching

Through the eye of its companion.

What a lovely name you have! Perfect for writing. I know it's been some time since you posted this comment, but be assured I wrote it long ago in the midst of some ailment. I'm fine now.
