Looking out through the window <br />She saw a sky of melancholy <br />In shades of ink-blue and black <br /> <br />In the ticking of the clock on the wall <br />She heard the loud and clear hollowness <br />Filling the empty room <br /> <br />Some stray memories sweet and bitter <br />Simply struggled like a flickering candle <br />Placed on the window sill <br /> <br />In the distant night is heard <br />Painful whining of dogs <br />As she struggled to close <br />The window against the blowing wind <br /> <br />13sep2010 <br />14.14hrs<br /><br />indira babbellapati<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/from-the-biography-of-an-unknown-woman-xl/
