Under the Dim Lights of her Roof
Unassisted she rises
She eats toast and marmalade
Like she’s in solitary confinement
Under the dim lights of the roof
She sits alone
She eats lunch by herself
She sleeps on one side
She tells stories - to the wall
Unaccompanied -she watches her TV shows
She undresses - alone
Under the dim lights of her roof
Solo - she takes a seat near the window
She watches the neighbor's - move - alone
She’s a solitary wo-man
Full of deep thresholds of alone -ness
Under the dim lights of her roof
The Climate of Doreen
The climate of Doreen soars when
Eileen praises the immaculate house
She live in…
The dog rises giving one bark
The morning light replaces the dark
The cock pecks and implores
Upon her door
When the climate is right - in front
of his nose -the tails of sardines -
he’ll adore
Aileen takes the heat - she has unsettled
The rose’s path
The first knock upon the door -she’ll ignore
but the knock that roars - unlocks her
Fear of a someone she would rather, ignore!
The sunlight piles in upon the garden
There - she’ll take up rightful ownership
As she soaks up the rays of gossip - as
If she were a growing teen
It’s too much sun when suddenly
The steps of a loner raises
Her suspicions
But it’s only the
Ridge - of that collar that
She fears as he goes on and on
The climate of Doreen is
Always tuned in!
