white curtains bellow from an open window
the villain has the hero cornered
who manages to escape out a window,
when the bad guy kicks the door
the drapes move wildly
the low streams of Brahms' cello
along with the wind whistling noisily
calms the atmosphere down to a reverie
while the veil ripples gently
white curtains anticipate police catching up soon
Those windows are disclosing quite a crime.

ReplyDeleteYou always take me somewhere unexpected, you're quite the thriller ;)
ReplyDeletewindows, the silent witness
