As I Wait

September 24, 2023

Call me darling

but never darlin

Call me lovely

but never cute

Call me warmly

from the snow bank

Call me your

forbidden fruit

Call me restless

dreams on fire

Call me once

when twice won’t do

Call my name

into the darkness

Call me

—as I wait for you

(Villanova University: September, 2023)
