To Watch
By Cindy-ydniC
Window watching
Watching windows
Life outside seems so distant,
blurry and artificial
High in sky scratching brick blocks
High
above life, new and renovations
Regeneration, relocation, restoration,
retardation- the new generation is one that is plain old fashioned folly
Watching windows
Windows watching
Existence above
in the lost, concealed tower...
Ostracized, abandoned, forgotten
Left to wilt like a rose,
Watching on the reflection of the
window the good years fade away
Window watching
Watching
windows
Insomnia kidnaps dreams only for the Stockholms syndrome
to rescue them
Exhausted, unable to repose, pushed and shoved by
the notion of time
Staring outside at the rough world- a mere observant
Boxed in and waiting to pass away, to be packed away

a very refined perspective, eloquently expressed with sensibility and class... those windows... how they move and twist, colors morphing and swirling before our eyes... and yet they stand so still, so cold, and the world fades in the distance... the observant.... that which is merely observed by the watcher, the observer, and the quality of being watchful, patient.... peering closely... there is an existential tone and moment here, an alienation and solemn dull pain.... very well written. thank you and welcome to the valley, I thoroughly enjoyed this
