a lonely patch of sky


in the courtyard of the abandoned
house, where not a soul does dwell
hidden in the weeds overgrown
stands the broken well

the inside’s stained mossy green
with patches bleached white
and a ficus grows from a crack
its leaves peeking over the side

stones for steps spiral down
disappearing into the thick fern
and right at the bottom, a brilliant blue sky
to see a face does yearn
