what i wait for

what i wait for
is a green line
a go--
a way out
a new old
a perfect tense
round two places
two doors
one life, two paths
what i wait for
is for you
tojours
what i wait for
can never become
an easy ticket, an arrow
to an action
but it can easily fail
as we're both in this together
and we've been known to make mistakes before
what i wait for

for b.h.

three floors up

dragging in time
i expose the weakness of
seeing you here and now

the shadow hit your eyes
as i was compelled to turn around
it's morning when we surrender
to each other's lips

it's morning again
when the sun's angle matches my eyes
with wires and cloth
left in remnants of time
chalk lines leading maybe
to a seamstress's pattern.

for b.h.
