waiting for

 
 
 
...the wounded day to  
end  
 
...the dreams of water  
 
...the dreams of fire  
 
...the stillborn heart to  
beat with love  
 
...the hammer to drive  
in the last nail  
 
...the sky to open up and  
sing Nessum Dorma  
 
...catching eggshell moonlight  
in a papercup  
 
...the perfect hurt that turns  
tears into diamonds so that  
we can keep them forever and  
remember the pain  
 
...the risk of salvation  
 
...the mad brush of Salvador  
Dali to paint angels with the  
colour of time
 
...something to save  
me  
 
...something to save  
you  
 
...something to save  
us
