Waiting...
Patience on my skin
like a dull razor blade
skimming the surface
wakening and loosening
dull, dead cells.
Wishing...
Hope hot in my heart
like a hot air balloon
skimming the Rio Grande
touching the surface
just below my feet.
Wanting...
Life to embrace me
like I want to embrace life
skimming my desires
ignoring the list
my big, bad scary
not-yet-on-paper Bucket List.
Wondering...
What stands in my way
like a clear glass wall
my view blocked by the glare
of the moon and the sun
on the other side.
