(From Saris and a Single Malt)
Wait for Me
I walk inside your heart
my empty palms suture
the leaks in your valves
so you don’t drown.
I read you passages from our unwritten lives,
convince you to fight harder
so I don’t grieve
for you already.
The flight is set for takeoff
don’t ask me to keep the faith
because the sky looks empty.
