cloudy skies tarnish
---chandler
horizons. everything is hazy and grey
---chandler
and the baby is asleep and i'm lonely.
---chandler
a dreamy giggle
---chandler
like a great bright balloon
---chandler
breaks the horizon like bright noon.
---chandler
the dawn of winter
---chandler
unfolds like a pair
---chandler
of mismatched socks, argyle
---chandler
and grey stripes. everything is
---chandler
beginning to glow and
---chandler
it's all quite surprising.
---chandler
his felt slippers, orange
---chandler
turning gold in the sunrise,
---chandler
have already been filled and emptied.
---chandler
the morning paper
---Anonymous
refolded and stacked on the table
---Anonymous
like the thousand oragami cranes
---Anonymous
of sisyphus, the end and beginning
---Anonymous
of the news, read once and
---Anonymous
waiting to be read again.
---chandler
his towel on the tile floor
---Anonymous
is drying. when he said goodbye
---chandler
i know he was lying.
---chandler
that simply pushes their button
---Anonymous

edit: "has been read once and waits"

Not bad at all. Lots of good imagery. I like especially the socks and the dawn of winter, his slippers have been filled and emptied, very good, lots of lonely in this poem.
