And He's Waiting

(freewrite: "imagine you're in a room within your heart. in this order. What do you hear? there is a window. what do you see outside of it? Someone is there, who is it? What are they doing? THere's a door, it's locked, what opens it?)


The bass is high,
It speeds and slows:
Moving.

The sky outside is scarlet:
It sings.

And in the corner he stands
Dressed in black.
Cool as ever.

His graceful hands trace beauties
You could never keep without him
Onto the walls with a thin, black brush.

He stops.
He sees you—
Watching him.
Enchanted.

He cries for you.

His sighs
And tears

Washing away the locks
And doors
And walls.

Love comes.

Everything clears:
The sunset
The paintings
The music.

There is nothing.
