A Windowless Wall
As I sit here,
to stare
over an electronic screen,
that refreshes too rapidly to arouse attention,
out the window,
that is noticed mostly for what it does not let through,
in the wall hard to the southeast,
to the frozen lake,
to watch
orange cast
through the horizon
on to snowy ice
by this morning's sun up,
to see
a windowless wall
to be a tragedy.
