hello, and here i am.
empty and full,
completely at the same
time.
and time, a solicitous lover--
giving and taking before you notice,
the coming of the day, or
the falling of the night,
has left me bewildered--
by her unsteady praise.
welcome, and here i am.
answered, but, moreover
questioned.
by the tides that rise
and fall by the moon,
who leaves me fulfilled,
yet wanting.
