Dear stranger,
How much do you get from my silence?
Do you see me waving from my window?
Because I do.
There isn't enough for a poem sometimes.
Sometimes there's too much work.
Sometimes I don't want to go home.
Sometimes I just lie in bed looking at the ceiling,
Wishing for a good dream.
Can you tell it just by looking over my shoulder
and peering into my frame?
When you can read these silences,
We'll be no longer strangers.
Oh, you've touched a deep chord. Beautifully wistful.
