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.
