The Beginning

295 4 3
                                    

I am almost afraid of the wind out there.

The dead leaves skip on the porches bare,

The windows clatter and whine.

I sit here in the quiet house. low-lit.

With the clock that ticks and the books that stand.

Wise and silent, on every hand.
