The Light by the Window
the doorknob felt cold
you stood there
your eyes—
I could not enter them
only silence
I waited
for your voice
to call me back
only silence
I stepped into the night
the light by the window
flickered
blocked by your shadow

Great ending!
Thank you so much, Bartholomew. I’m happy the ending found its way through.
