Hurry

The moon is orange tonight.

I watch it through the curtainless windows

of this skeleton house.

I have turned from the grey light

of the television ( a story of seduction;

she was shy)

to see it waver

through old, uneven glass.


I wonder when the warmer light

will be within the walls,

these old bones

bodied again.


Hurry.

Help me fill this house.
