»Waiting«

by Lungile KaDlamini, February 28, 2019

when in my sleep, you appear
dressed in purity my heart touched not

stepping on the love I generously gave you
sipping on a cup of tears I shed waiting for you
pieces of my piece; crumbling in your hands
joy, oh joy; scattered into the air
carried into the sky where
birds fly into greater summits
and I remain; waiting.
