One drop
and then another
rolling down dusty cracks in a windowpane;
as transparent as the clouds.
Here they fall, whispering widows
traces as substantial
as the autumn leaves
when the wind whimpers,
as substantial as your smile
when I'm not looking.
The drops simmer on,
down the desert of expression
fall down down down
and I will
make sure to look the other way.

One drop
and then another
rolling down dusty cracks in a windowpane;
as transparent as the clouds.
Here they fall, whispering widows
traces as substantial
as the autumn leaves
when the wind whimpers,
as substantial as your smile
when I'm not looking.
The drops simmer on,
down the desert of expression
fall down down down
and I will
make sure to look the other way.
