Longed, pined,
Wept, died –
‘Waited’ is too
Weak a word.
Wouldn’t come.
(Couldn’t come?)
Never mind.
Feeling done.
Wistful windows
Desperate doors
Shut and trampled
(Evermore?)
Lookit here,
Little light!
Maybe soon
Arrives delight?
Wouldn’t come.
(Couldn’t come?)
Never mind!
Feeling done.
– In the sun
Blinded squint
Softer breeze –
Battered, bent…
There it is!
Right as rain –
Standing silent:
Green again.
