Communication

Edlyn Ang

Hours spent by window watching
overgrown boys on grass below, kicking soccer ball.
Weekdays are tasked with waiting
for everyone to return and then to be finished

with tvs, phones, computers.
Midnight's when we're synchronized free.
Conversations skim, pond-skater light, too late
for depths. Coolness

of aluminium sill
yields spartan, familiar comfort.
