neutral

by Richard Willems - Aquarius

It isn't over-
but we're just standing by
and the blue light flickers
you're pushed out
I'm just idling
and it crushes us all.

We both know the future
why does it feel so far?
And why these empty moments...

your robe of many names
my nameless face
kicking at the air
never sucking any in

again this reaching...
outward inward
anywhere but home
the heart is lost in this somewhere.

and you know I'll wait you out
curled up and isolated for your return
but who knows what's left
this tired body wrapped around
this glued together heart.
