WINDOW
For years
I shut my bedroom
window to sleep so the percussion
of the city did not fetter my
descent
not penetrate my dreamy
slump with rev of
engine, shouted
goodbyes, dumpster lid
banging shut
Now
with more days done
than coming, I throw the window
wide so the noisy slurry
does not
pass me by
