Lillie Reder ’13
Lonely tree
swaying in the rainy wind
outside. A dark house
a black television sits
crooked on the dust filled floor.
Two pink, cotton slippers
rest halfway under the bed next to
a lampless bedside table.
Dripping faucet.
A wire hanger gently swaying
on the wooden rod.
A telescope
stands next to an iron rail
under the clear star filled sky
pointed toward the ground.
