Stone House
by Patricia Kennelly
at the stone house
you will find
grenadine geraniums
beneath the kitchen window
spicy-sweet
they spill out of a
window box
abandoning
their summer petals
a warm breeze brings in
the honeyed air of
ambrosial autumn clematis
eager to waft
and wave at passersby
at the stone house
you will find
me
gazing out the kitchen window
on a scarce sunny September
where I sit
in silky silence
considering a cup of Ceylon tea
and saying good-bye
