Homecoming 2

Midnight and feverish

I wait 

For a promise, that was never made

I wait for a hint,

A breath, a word, or at least a silent

I wait for a 'no' or 'yes'

or for something that is....

I play with a goldfish in my head

windowpanes, black curtains

they hide a lake behind them

and then,

my eyes swim in it
