Jean Rhys at Twilight

Nutrition fact:
Did you know
that windows
like to eat writers
who diet on silence
and dust-motes,
they swallow the writers
whole, or in fragments,
devouring them slowly,
ever so slowly,
until all that remains
is a ghost,
where a writer once lived,
at a distance,
from the alleged world
outside their window.
