Analysis of Cluttered Windows in Dormant Hours



In night, I mourn the morning's solstice
In paleness, placid showed no slumber
In hours, I grieved the grimmest vapors

In light, rodents' wings rap my windows
In greyness, ghastly they mock the ravens
In clocks, clouded the daylight's chorus
And in this coldness, I channel laughter's breeze.
