Outside

 

in an abandoned farmhouse outside of town 
a bed, a table, a chair next to the window 
outside - the summer sky scattered miles in all directions 
but through the window it is so small
outside is dry heat and heavy breathing 
no clouds, no visible sign of invisible bodies 
outside there are thin, sharp bones in the tall grass at the highway’s edge 
is it fair? is it far? 
take me home to golden afternoons 
I am so small in the fading light 
come nightfall I won’t exist at all
