Fatima Mansions (The)
Purple Window
He and she, their empty houseHe's awake, she sleepsHis eyes are for one sight alone--the purple windowNow his desires, his secret wishhe never lets her see'cause he keeps it here for the shape that livesin the purple windowThe purple windowCelebrations and perspirationand exploration are gone for good nowThe end is sometimes hard to seeThe way is wide and clearbut with contrition here, remission therewell, it could take weeks or yearsand there's the purple windowThe purple windowYou know where his love goesand he can see the girl danceEvery move, every lineand he can see his own funeralin the purple window
