The hardest puzzle

He stands, behind his window.

He, who does not say a word.

I write, in the name

of my grandfather.

That’s why I write.

He longs to look, at me,

every day, each night,

in his window.

He, who is not worth,

to look in his eye.

As I bow

over every minute

of my story,

hmmm

I would rather

not wish, for.
