60 Windows
for Jenny Diski
Tiny room whose window was never opened
Curtain for the window
On the cane chair under the window

Pale green even in the window
Emptying the basin out of the window
Halts by the window and gazes
*
Lay on the ground under the window
Kneeling up to the window
An octagonal vaulted chamber with a balconied window
*
Her bed had its back to the window
Through the curtainless window day stole in
She went to the other window
*
Sitting at the table near the window, working
Opened windows into the wrong world
A gale, exploding against the window
...
Tiny room whose window was never opened
Curtain for the window
On the cane chair under the window
*
Pale green even in the window
Emptying the basin out of the window
Halts by the window and gazes
*
Lay on the ground under the window
Kneeling up to the window
An octagonal vaulted chamber with a balconied window
*
Her bed had its back to the window
Through the curtainless window day stole in
She went to the other window
*
Sitting at the table near the window, working
Opened windows into the wrong world
A gale, exploding against the window
