Unopened Window

Scratch beneath the surface of my skin,

press your nose against my dirt, entangle

your fingers in the cobwebs of my hair,

mist my face with your warm breath,

quietly blow the dust from my sill.

Capture my mood from the light

reflected in my eyes. Heed the green

vistas I could open up for you.
