Poems From a Peeping Tom

I saw her sitting in her third floor window reading the poems I sent; she leafed through them for a while and then went  into a frozen hunch, for several seconds, then she reached for her telephone, and I went still in the dark below,  thinking soon she would toss a sigh or maybe a sob of recognition;   but all I heard was the sirens of twin patrol cars wailing toward us from the bowells of a bad city.
