Looking Out a Picture Window
       at Slowly Falling Snowflakes

One flake,
             a flake,
                        one flake of snow.

One grain of sand,
               far away,
                         beside an ocean.

One woman,
               of tnanldnd,
                          a human creature.

The snowflake
               floats t falls,
                          melts away.

Sand on the beach,
               drifts, dunes,
                          settles somewhere.

WOJllall watches,
               waits; wonders,
                          cries.
