Waiting

Wrapped, tangled

In time. It drags,

Shuffles, bends away

Twisting the path

We walk. Direction

Changes — where will

We end? Destination

Eludes, meaning

Slips away in slippery

Days. This elusive world

Shifts the shape of

Dreams, plucks our

Precious goals, dandles them

Out of reach. Baby, we’re here,

Left to ourselves and

Each other.

(Will we be enough?)
