Between my house and yours there are
The silent windows that reflect,
By light of dawn, by light of eve,
Silent, our faces and glory.
At a lonesome bend in the road,
There is an abandoned-lot
With a chain-link fence, webs,
And a wise bent crab apple-tree.
When September arrives, the sign
Says, Victory Manor will be
Complete, the Garden built by The
Tom's Garden Company 12.
Slated to be cut-down, the bent tree,
It's lonely swing hung and silent,
Replaced with a plastic gym,
Witnessed by the silent windows.
