While I Wait
The cursor blinks
She disappears through a door
A wisp of smoke curls on the breeze
A Cloud passes casting a dull shadow
Grey descends and a groundhog scuttles
An art installation loses its shine
The bait of the world wiggles and squirms
Pastures, rocks, and bleating lambs call out
A Coffee pot grinds and gurgles
An elephant loses its decoration one bead at a time
Cartoon Jesus clings loosely to a Sunday School felt board
A fish tank casts a bubbly pink hue
A spider’s belly grows full
Dread, the only formulation
The cursor continues to blink
