Product details
outside
warm breeze, soft grass, sun
it's strangely quiet, the heavy air
the birds are calling somewhere else
mother says close the windows
before the rain
but, the smell of it -
how could I?
outside the clouds are
soft, white, gentle
looking down on worlds below
from crowded spaces
passing by
the humming, dizzying, sleepless -
a million pieces of black glass
peaking into other places
inside
a small, well furnished room
overlooking crowded streets
warm tones, busy, bright
the distant din of social lives
unread books and paper piled high -
the room is rarely occupied
father says make sure you rest
but, there -
so much to see
outside
verdant, expansive fields
it's perfectly quiet, for once
feeling time, it moves too fast
slipping past
with every breath
outside the clouds are
flat, endless, grey
a backdrop to the worlds below
the sunsets aren't quite as vivid
peaking into crowded spaces
a bird is singing -
calling somewhere else
inside
a small unfurnished room
yet to be filled with books and papers
the humming, sleepless din silenced
mother asks how is the weather -
it's raining softly
