Outside My Window

Poetry by Cristina Van Orden


​

was the end of a jazz song   sounded like crickets     roaring like brass   they
were voyeurs in the wind   old ladies hike their skirts up   throw spice into the
air   thick tongues wanting     to feel     alive   bloated from whiskey and
peanut dust    the moist blanket drapes from the windowsill
I sleep well tonight
