rickety bench
in the tree's shade-
looking at a book
I've never read
but have had for years

quietly hidden
quietly hidden
under the balcony
as the rain falls
not as brave as the birds
who hop on the grass

play together outside-
thinking
about them leaving me
and how far they will go

how slow time moves

on days like this, the days
you've left us-
ignoring the sun,
hoping the darkness will come

the mourning sounds
the mourning sounds
of doves among other

in the sunlight
in the sunlight,
reading forgotten letters-
is the warmth
from my memories
or is it just from the sky?

staring at saturn
staring at saturn
with a pen in my hand-
reaching beyond
my mortal limitation
with ink on paper

dressing up at dawn
dressing at dawn
with new expensive clothes
and old faded shoes-
the same conversation
each morning on the phone

in the sunset glow-

a couple argue loudly
in sign language
