Windows Open
curtains possessed by the wind
laughter in motion
I remember her walk
everyone did
the movement of her skirt
swallowed my thoughts
her chemise showing more than could be veiled
as my senses were captured
imprisoned in her smile
She was freer
than any wind I had ever felt
slipping
passing my mind
like curtains
possessed by the wind
in open windows
enlaced memories.
