From My Living Room Window

after Denise Levertov

Olive paint of a neighboring bungalow,
white paint of the windowpanes,
sunning their bones as they frame foggy
rectangular panels of glass,
the top two reflecting,
the bottom two opaque. 
                                        Always a window
gazed through toward, gives
a reassurance of other, re-
defining solitude: our great isolation
not so fated, though sounded and sounded
by our thoughts —
