Wait for Me

There is no waiting,
not really.
Only bated suspension
between commas, axles
and imports;
the spaces
between lovers
lie in fertile fields
fed by small gods
and nameless faeries
who, by sacred squalls
of weeping,
consecrate the soil’s
underlying reap.
Lovers don’t wait,
not really.
Their lock, timeless,
abides the nature of waves
coursing a fathomless sea.
