The Swallows

Moments
in time
“points”

Collections
of at least two
moments in time
“lines”

Points “rest” on
“timelines”
and “between”
other points

Spaces
between two
points in time
“windows”

“Door”
for window?
No, because we are
all shut-ins here.

I have windows
when I could stop up the chimney
after the swallows leave and
before they return next spring
to eat our mosquitoes.

But gentlemen-farmers
never harvest
fields to the edges.
