Other People's Windows

still looking through the dark

By Katarina TylerPublished 11 months ago • 1 min read

It’s so dark now I look through

other people’s windows,

the little dipper and the big

every light brings me still back to you

light brings me back to you

still I think of your eyes like light

your hands like shadows

holding me when you’re here and gone

you hold me when you’re gone

like the dippers always there in the dark

scanning windows for your outline

no relief like a continued search

This continual search brings no relief

trial and trial; nothing shines the same

your light and my light made a new house

but it’s too dark now to look through
