Skylight
- for Rocky & Noel
Our neighbor
across the street
works in the
steel industry,
his wife’s a nurse,
and both work
swing shifts.
On some dark
winter mornings,
I can look out
our semi-circular
living room window
as I head down-
stairs for coffee
and see their
bathroom skylight
glowing white.
Seeing their light
always makes me
feel a bit better—
knowing that
we’re not
the only ones.
