there's a light...

this is the fifteenth

of a series of poems by nooshin azadi

derived from drawings by rhoda penmarq

. there's a light in the window perhaps the faraway star is a window too! who's standing there behind it? does the light from a gun come from a window too? will the one standing behind it shine like a faraway star too? a light in a window and a light in a heart a faraway star always travels with me with me with me how lonesome is the one who's got no light in his heart! how sad! yeah, the faraway light might be a window! who's standing there behind it? could it be you? can you see the lightless hearts invading the land? can you hear the marching boots chanting hand in hand? i kept a light on for you to come but you didn't you betrayed even the moon who lit the road all night long for you to come you didn't come but they did the lightless hearts are invading the land i can hear them soon they will come to me soon they will i should take the cat and flee into the dark i'll take no light with me i'll take no light a faraway star always travels with me .
