ALONE

I raise the curtains To watch the moon. Leaning on the Balcony, I breathe the evening Wind from the erst, heavy with the Odors of decaying Autumn. The dark blue of the river Blends with the green jade of the void. Hidden in the grass a cricket chirps. Hidden in the sky an owl cries out. I turn over and over in My heart the memories of Other days, Tonight as always  There is no one to share my thoughts.
