By the Window

by Drora Matlofsky

I have just finished typing my poem.

I look up, feeling alive.
In front of me, outside the window,
A young man comes into the yard,
Shaved head, brisk walk.
He looks up eagerly at my lit window.
Our eyes meet.
What was he hoping to see?

He just saw me blowing my nose.
