| Waiting.
Waiting. Waiting becomes waiting, becomes time. Waiting becomes time, becomes
dying. Waiting is time dying, is time being stretched beyond living. Waiting
unending. Suspended. Waiting as punishment. Waiting waiting. Waiting beneath
the dirty windows. Painted with light-filtering scum. Waiting beside the
Angel of the North. Waiting sleeping. Waiting waiting. Waiting for the machine.
To be taken up. (Wrists and ankles bound). Waiting in space, above the land.
Waiting in space above the clouds. Waiting with Beatrice. Waiting in the
full light of the sun. Above snow capped mountain ranges and rivers drawn
in fine lines. Above an invisible human world. Waiting in expectation. For
the warm air and the new light. Waiting with Dürer, Goethe, Joyce,
Blake. Waiting for a door to open. And that first breath. Waiting for the
New Jerusalem. Waiting for (Meraviglia). Waiting for (Ebbrezza). Waiting
for (Estasi). |
