waiting on my cue
from the bottom of my heart
there is much bleeding
noticeable but unseen
to the naked eye
offers flood in
but negotiations break down
the stitchers either
went on strike
or simply headed home
in the meantime
most everyone knows
what happens next
how the satiation
& the emptiness collide
creating a once-in-a-lifetime
celebratory occurrence
november two thousand twenty-two
