Glow in the dark

The house in the distance
its pumpkin-warm windows
flash out over an expanse
of naked fields, mown rows,
the crops gone, and an autumn
of fluorescent lilies floated home.

 

Did you swing by my haunts,

did I stop at your windows?
it’s not really important
but they’re all good to know
why lilies replace the crop
and what lily-pads choose to cup.

This makes it a little awkward
to keep warmth in, all windows -
their metal must be weathered -
their polished panes must close,
show a glow-in-the-dark façade
but the warmth cannot be shared.
