Poetry by Sarah E N Kohrs

Beyond is the light-gray world
                                                              poised with clouds that linger
but my eyes settle not on those.
                                                              Instead, I see a brown moth flicker
against the screen-less window
                                                              where a trillion droplets
settle like stars. Those wings
                                                              move in such succession, my
heart seems to speed up, too.
                                                              I raise a hand, palm ready
for comforting, providing
                                                              relief, hope, even.
But the window doesn’t open
                                                              and the rain drips in dirges.
