The Window

 

The window rattles

The cold air tries to enter

Blankets keep me warm

Shielded from the draft

But not from the light

Blinding me

The morning is harsh

“I’m not ready!”

Turning over

I notice the pillow

Still the same

As the night before

And I remember

That I am alone

And the window rattles

As I turn over again.
