Busy Waiting


(1)

Here I wallow,
  wounded,
    lying in my blood,

The world in arrears,
  M31, the spiral in Andromeda,
    and I,

Waiting for a word
  from you
    to crutch my waking.



(2)

Here I wallow,
  wriggling,
    lying with my blood,

The world ahead,
  M31, the spiral in Andromeda,
    and I,

Waiting for a word
  from you
    to crotch my waking.


(3)

Here I warble,
  nesting,
    warming with my blood,

The world at rest,
  M31, the spiral in Andromeda,
    and I,

Waiting for a word
  from you
    apres le flood.
