light underscores the window sills
illuminates the room...
six windows without shades
wicker furniture covered in towels
wait for reinforcements...
vinyl siding create the walls
inside of which we find ourselves;
we stand alone or together, it matters
not what we do each day, the room
of sun is always open...
always available to sights and sounds
that filter through our walls
from our neighbors...
and when the light shifts so too does
its appearance, moving from one
side to the other to find warmth...
brown on brown with greens outside
and light infiltrates our solitude
keeping us all huddled together.
