Through Her Window
She is locked inside her apartment
Her door is bolted from outside
The entrance gate is shut with wires
During pandemic lockdown
In this high-rise building
Through her open window
She hears wailing and yelling
Coming from others
She can only view
The west side of the sky
In the late afternoon
The sun rages with fire
Then sinks sadly into darkness
She longs for the rising sun
A fresh day with free air
She misses the other side of the world
Holds people she can only hear
She anticipates the day
Walking out her front door
To reenter society
But for now she can only
Dream about flying through
Her open window
