Windy

a__pott

Staring out of a window

into a green and orange world of half burnt trees

from inside the striped walls of a temporary “home,”

I would shake and worry.

Who knows why,

but something about even the slightest sway of the distant tree would frighten me.

Now I beg to see the topiary dance in the wind from that window.

Now I beg that those striped walls would surround me again,

for temporary is something we always miss,

once it’s gone.

    Love these last two lines, Alex! And how many times does something temporary turn into something permanent!

  • Lorna

    And everything is temporary! Good poem.
