10
Here's another window
with more sleepless people!
Perhaps drinking wine or
perhaps only sitting,
or maybe two lovers are
unable to part hands.
Every house has
a window like this.
A window at night: cries
of meeting or leaving.
Perhaps there are many lights,
perhaps only three candles.
But there is no peace in
my mind anywhere, for
in my house also, these
things are beginning:
Pray for the wakeful house,
friend, and the lit window.
