Six Ways of Looking at a Window

I.
Don't let me sit near a window
or I'll never come back.

II.
Enraptured by your peep-show,
glowing windows to your soul
which I can see the shape of
going on to infinity.

III.
Alternates and options-
a window you never knew was there,
they say, will open when a door closes.



IV.
Moloch has hundreds of eyes,
each eye a blinking window,
all stacked endlessly upwards.

V.
The neighbour treated their window
to a bundle of purple flowers.

VI.
Did you see the face in that window?
- She looked like she'd seen a ghost.
