A Sullen Word

There's a sullen word

Written on my windowpane

Though my eyes can't see

At a glance far

From the distance

Of viewing.

 

Maybe scribbles of street children

Creeping the panels

Kept the glass sheets

Full with designs

Of hand markings

Able to confuse my soul

With my thoughts.

 

Is it really

The four-letter-word

That has denied me

Of life?

My eyes do not lie though.

 

True.

The sights are keen.

But the feeling?

No.

 

I could only remember

Anagrams of the word,

The consonants

And its vowels.
