June Night

Through the courtyard window

comes the crickets’ song.

Nothing different it tells me,

nothing new.

Smiling photos in an album,

we appear far away.

What were we laughing at? What were we saying?

What deaths were lying in wait?

Through the courtyard window

comes the tedious, eternal

—horribly eternal—

tone deaf creaking.

(Evans 49)
