WAIT

WAIT

Wait
until your eyes adjust to the light
for adjust they will

look at this
what we have here

is it not
like a planet metaphor
with inner
meanings, outer rings

Saturn
     in her full regalia
nothing saturnine

until
   you get up as close
as we are now

and here you lock on
with all your technology
literal antennae

that hunger for resonance
that transcends species, outlived
race and colour

no idle promise
from some mad mystic or
their posterity text
that we
might become one
know ourselves
know each other

somewhere here
there is a beyond special
moment a forever now
searching for you
trying to find you

let
  that quest
to squeeze every bit of life
out of words and things,
out of
      oceans of language

run
   a blind course, suffer
in vain.
