My Window

My Window

The view from my window

Has been obscured

By the tree,

But I can still see.

People

Walking, talking.

Enjoying a smoke

Scraping the mud off their

Shoes on the steps.

Sky

The sunset.

The moonrise

Stars twinkling

During the night.

The view from my window

Has been obscured

By the tree,

But I can still see.

(March 1998)

The view from my dorm room window.
