Suddenly opened little windows into the darkness
and though a wind made them shiver
they did not quite disappear.
Four walls and a roof make a house, or they try to,
and an exile learns to carry matches
as a matter of course.
It's true that once your hair made a gold-red aureole
and my clothes have never fit well since,
but to presume beyond that
outruns my writ.
