WAITING

Robert Thimmesh

Her body, pear-
shaped by
sixty-five years
of waiting for

mail
food stamps
rides
doctors
love
social workers
landlords
exterminators
death
relatives
medicine
sales clerks
salvation

Waiting for
Ebullient sunshine days,
Pain free wooded walks,
Coffee conversations,
Companionship's warm embrace,
Depression's flight,

She waits for
more than her
existence. Waiting for
a new existence of
pure being, no waiting.
