Waiting

With winter blowing in
and you still out there
willing yourself into the world
the city looms over me in two dimentions
you the absent depth

I wait wide eyed
for your arrival in the hours
I should use for sleeping

touch will be my rest
yours and mine, my sustinance
when we swallow each other whole

in the small hours of dawn

Short and very sweet. I love this piece. I love the notion of willing one's self into the world. It brings to mind somebody who's world-weary, but keeps fighting, keeps struggling to just exist, but that might just be how I perceive it. And the part about the lovers swallowing each other whole? It's cannibalistic AND sexy. Wow. Great work, Lara.
