the window

***
here
pine trees shed their leaves,
and rolls of waves
are routinely cast off.
here
the season sighs on earth,
sand, cold, and night,
as peace as summons as fitfully
the wind upon your shivering self.
and words bloom into distant spaces:
please come!
***
there rises a pair of hills,
red and pointed
from bare fields
and parched land
where your heart
reaches out.
a solitary windmill spins in the gleam of sunset,
and on the edge of continent
a rainbow spread.
do not mortals return at this hour
when the soil resurges,
like a poem
mute in words
like crystal,
enchanted, eternal?
