Wait For It

Not very long ago
It was too cold to move
Now it’s too hot to even breathe

The grasses strain to grow
The brittle’s pushed to break
The sparrows sigh; cicadas seethe

Despite my trembling
Despite my dread
I can say, with everything but certainty:
There’s a morning still ahead

That is, unless the earth
Begins to melt away
Unless we all are swallowed-up

But now, for what it’s worth
I’ll hold on tight to you
Like you’re a hard-won loving-cup

Despite my trembling
Despite my dread
I can say, with everything but certainty:
There’s a morning still ahead

I am so full of waste
And empty little wants
For Things have swayed me with their song

I like the way they taste
The way they satiate
As they come running down my tongue

Despite my trembling
Despite my dread
I can say, with everything but certainty:
There’s a morning still ahead

It’s been too dry to hope for anything
But even I can still admit
There’s a respite, there's a breath
If you’ll only wait for it
So, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it…
