it is the time for waiting
i have your clothes in the closet
shirts on the top bar
pants on bottom
your socks in the drawer
all white
i cry and listen
to the TV in the other room
as you grind your teeth
and listen to the other men
smacking their lips in sleep
it is the time for waiting
i have her clothes in the closet
0-3 months hanging
others in a box under my bed
her blankets and bibs
the cradle is ready
casters attached
i pet the cat
listening to the song of the
air conditioner
as she floats
somersaults
takes her time
it is not my time to do
and that's what it means to wait
it's only prayer time
and prayer doesn't get lost
in air that's alive
