family in bed
and term papers graded --
he steps,
without hope, into the snowy night
to see her bedroom window lit

打好學期論文分數--
不抱希望地，
在雪夜中他走到外面
看到她的明亮臥室窗戶

Bio Sketch
Larry
Kimmel is a US poet. He holds degrees from Oberlin Conservatory and
Pittsburgh University, and has worked at everything from steel mills to
libraries. Recent books are this hunger, tissue-thin, and shards and dust. He lives with his wife in the hills of Western Massachusetts.
The concluding image of "see[ing] her bedroom window lit" makes a thematic and emotional shift and creates a middle-of-the-story, allowing the reader to enter the poem and co-write this unfinished story.
