Waiting

I feel myself
waiting
for something
which needs
a room
away from me,
distant.

Unconsciously
I do it,
and I seem to
think
that I am busy,
that my mind is not burning
about it,
but the embers are there,
and they are fodder for my
wooden heart,
which turns into wax
when the words are right,
when the something comes--
then wooden once more
when the coat is removed,
when the something goes,
when it hurts too much to cry.

Some call it waiting,
some call it hurting;
I call it being.
Back home!
