Lullaby

I know that you can not be here
I know that you are not mine now
looking out the window
at another window
I see toenails changing colour
like the leaves of fall

if you often smile, but often don't smile
which do you do more often? smile or not?
I dreamt the hydrant
was covered in snow
white light glowing below

I know that you can not be here
I know that you are not mine now
looking out the window
at another window
I see toenails changing colour
like the leaves of fall
