By My Window At The Second Floor Of My Office

the strong wind
last night
brought it by
the window
of this second floor
office

rotten branch
with a lichen still
growing
a patch of green
on brown bark

a bottle of mineral
water is empty
and it is beside it

the glass window
shows it
and so i notice it

not my fault
why i am saying
about their
existence

again these things
are not
significant

except perhaps
the strong wind
last night

it gave us fear
amidst the darkness
when all the
lights turned
off
