WAITING

I look to see if you’re

coming up the street.

No it’s not you yet -
so with my left hand -

I’m a leftie  - I let go

of the curtain and wait.

I look at my left hand -
it’s the same hand

that waved good-bye

two years ago when

you left and walked

down  the street.

I open up the curtain

again - I’m still waiting.
