Table For Two Poem by Kevin Moore

(Outside)
Rain plays softly against the window glass
a lullaby in A minor,
sings its song of comforting to old men
walking past with umbrellas -
now-faded memories on leashes stained
yellow by dreams long behind them.

(Inside)
Rain plays softly against the window glass
a requiem in A minor,
sings its song of mourning to the lover
(aching hope is her umbrella)
whose unleashed dreams lay huddled and aware
in the empty chair beside her.
