Windows

Today, I decide to
end the anticipation
and spread your secret letters
behind closed windows.
All I see is verbose words
merging into my yawn.

sometimes...some things secret are best kept behind closed windows.

To end some mysteries ...is to find there never was a mystery.

Really taken by this poem.....particularly the spread of letters behind the windows.....I read the last word as 'lawn' first!

Oh Wow! I feel like doing that sometimes but only have once before. It was the greatest feeling, end of one (almost) and fresh start of next 'life # XX.'
