I Wait

I Wait

Quietly, silently, I wait,

In a quiet room, to learn of you,

Who are

Darkly drifting, your blind, deadman’s float.

Quietly, silently,

Suspended, lulled in liquid-

Curled, and, as yet, unnamed,

a knot.

Within my quietly

widening walls, you

also wait,

Your prehistoric parody- fish, reptile, bird,

Adding, multiplying, dividing, subdividing,

quietly silently, repeating, ancient patterns

A familiar formula;

An old math;

But you,
A new equation.
