She waits
knowing that
when she sees
what she is
waiting for
She will know,
certainly,
she will know
Certainly,
she will recognize
that the opener
has arrived
that the time
has come
for the waiting
to end
Surely,
the water will
reflect to her
the perfection
of the moment
arriven
Show her
that the moment
has arrived
and she has
arrived at the moment
of choosing
of no longer waiting
of no longer wallowing in
private tenderness, weakness, fear
Show her
that a moment
has arrived with
a mouth thirsty
to drink from her cup
all that she has
by turns guarded jealously
and spilled indiscriminately
When the moment
arrives
will she choose
generosity
or will she be
miserly?
