Windows: by Vrinda Agrawal
we look through
but never forget
beyond the glass
lies only a fall
These are tall buildings
and
we watch the light move
unblinking
till the shadows swallow space
we accept the darkness
the same as we accept light
there is nothing to give up
we miss what we can no longer feel
it was once in us
now it is something we can only see
against the wind
we do not fight, we bend
let it carry our weight
so that the words do not bear the burden
the clouds
when the eyes see
the hands can almost feel
but then we are told
clouds are just drops of water
and when it rains
these drops race to reach the ground
though we yearn to be clean
that is what we need
it will always be the other side.
