Persistence of Memory

Eileen left the town 
One flake is falling 
Vertically 
Toward an oak tree yellow laying leave 
The streets are deserted 
Except from the cold 
I am looking from the windows 
My only escape 
My caffee cup is waiting for my hand 
To warm it 
My young journal is afraid of 
The shrinking table.
