sigh at 5

A Sigh!
A deep sigh!
Five in the evening.

("Open this damn window, I cannot breathe.")

Smoke!
A thick, tangible smoke!

("Open it …")

A sigh;

A man in a wheelchair
            facing the pond with some willow trees around it. A
young couple kissing each other
                                              under a
            willow tree; A branch of
            willow knocking at the
            window.

A silent bird sits on top of a silent chimney looking   at the
            window that traps me to hear something knocking;

A plume of smoke on the horizon.
A rail road that turns around,
and goes God knows where. . .

A sigh.
It is five o'clock on a lousy evening!
