Hi all,his was written  while   trying to get through a  bout of insomnia. It is written  in my favorite fixed rhyme forms, a  villanelle.
Open Window

Echoes travel on icy wings
burgeoning sounds in the distance
Heard through the open window

Dissonant hum  of tires sing
Low temperatures offer little resistance
As Echoes travel on icy wings

engines  rumble, growl and ring
welcomeing insomnia’s presence
heard through the open window

knowing not what tomorrow will bring
sleep comes with reluctance
as echoes travel on icy wings

the gap invites noise-gatherings
to close it is no assurance
that    the gesture will  be relaxing
and mute the Echoes traveling on icy wings
Heard through the open window

2019
