Sky is simmering gray
I watch it through the window
clouds are muscular

I am a leaf
on winter’s branch
the one who shivers
like an owl

Sometimes I mask myself
so parts of me form

dazzling illusions 

If sky were cold ash
this would be my mood

a dark room

somewhere

a blown bulb
that’s difficult to change

Sometimes I replace it
with a hundred-watt bright
Sadly that blows out as well
because often

my ruminations are screwed

into the world’s faulty socket
