the wait

i am waiting for you

in my first morning on earth

in a morning at 11:38 after two hours of sleep

in a train station

in pain

unscared, I am waiting for you

counting wounds and looking over an infinite field that takes me to the next place

i am waiting for you at the circus

taming elephants, hearts and trumpets

in silence

praying for rain for those who need it most

i have a kite in my hands

i am the kite calmly going from here to there

with no words prepared

i am waiting
