Alone

A wool-knit sweater to keep out the chills

And a hot cup of tea to swallow the pills

 

A blank television sits atop a wooden shelf

And a quiet nightstand stands all for himself

 

Hunched and unlimber, he walks to the window

The pale moon stares as the stars hang low

 

With his wrinkled hands, he covers his face

 

The moon shines bright on better days

The moon shines bright on better days
