I wait

There is a tightness 
in my chest.

Spirit collapses - 
a paper bird.

Feel the crush of it
and gasp.

Words explode
Friends evaporate.

Trapped in my 
storming mind.

I seek 
and do not find.

I need and you 
come up wanting.

I cannot go back
I cannot go forward.

So I lie and wait
For what?
