Spring Window
Post date: May 20, 2009 4:48:48 PM
the frame of
her window
illuminated
in spring
as a sheer
curtain dances
across the belly
of a cloud
shuttered
screened
in rain-spattered panes
on electric evenings
when harsh winds
billow and careen
her soft dress
against the mesh
Lightning flash
silhouettes
damp as shadows
hung drying overnight
lace-patterned
on a register
after the storm
miles away.
