a framed pane of clear glass: :infinity keeping keeping

in and out of the bird feeder

*

changing light: :collecting parts of a visual wall less the night

look inside

the
dream

writing the years

*

night out, you open the can: :5 years through the pupil of an empty space

the eye
now a familiar
raga
unfamiliar

*

escape the tomorrow: :ribbon clouds expanding a splinter you can slip into

old glass
fears distort
into dust

A found tiny-haibun-sequence sourced from the list of responses defining windows, sent in to Shloka Shankar by her friends, for her poetry half marathon poem “splintered darkness”. Thanks Shloka!
