Waiting - Marilyn Buck - 1989

[mirmusing.livejournal.com]

I watched you
wanted you
one day
I whispered these words
wrapped in a gentle wind
through the flower of my lips
glazed with want
you flirted
then fled
how fast you run
feet trip over hot steaming sidewalks
you dance and dodge
at last feet sidle back
I sit wrapped
wrapped in a cool
breeze of assumed indifference
I wait for you

Would you object terribly if I added you? Your journal seems very engaging, and if your taste in poems is anything to go by, there is plenty more goodness to come.
