Looking out through the window 
She saw a sky of melancholy  
In shades of ink-blue and black 
 
In the ticking of the clock on the wall 
She heard the loud and clear hollowness  
Filling the empty room 
 
Some stray memories sweet and bitter 
Simply struggled like a flickering candle  
Placed on the window sill 
 
In the distant night is heard 
Painful whining of dogs 
As she struggled to close  
The window against the blowing wind
