Psithurisma

there you are
he’s been waiting
for you and your feet
moving along the grass
no need for you
to take any shortcuts now
it would only mislead
you away
from the moment not
now
now
psithurisma
an old man
sitting by his wife
with pulled up knee
and a look that has beenweary for a while
no need for him
to take any shortcuts now
she breathes
he turns
and leaves for now
now
now
psithurisma
who knows
wherewe will be someday
looking back at what we’ve been through
and all the times we’ve spend
and no need
for you
to take any shortcuts now
I’d like to wait
and walk with you
all the way
