ReplyDeleteThrough the blinds
she watches and waits,
waits some more
as the vines creep
across the cellar door.
Keep out
Keep out
Keep out
and she has no problem
with that, she never leaves,
is always in
inside her mind
inside the window
behind the blinds
She touches the drawings
by the sill, ink raised
on paper, his fervor evident
in haphazard strokes—
perfect in their genius.
Someday the door
will be covered, she will
have missed her chance
to find a way out.
