Window Looker
Passing by spinning circles
Or a pattern of walk
Abodes covered by curtains
And green leaves
A dormant face stares out to see
What is looking back
Shelves littered with glass ornaments
And gifts put there by politeness
A starving mouse grins eagerly
Watching a dinner of catfood
Encircled by candles
As the dog barks angrily at
What he cannot reach.
