He wakes and shakes the muddy, muddled cobwebs from his mind. He takes his
time and makes his way across the chilly morning gloom, down to the room,
the sink, the mirror. Does he hear her on the stairs? No, he's forgotten to
forget her. He knows she's not really there.

His pained and pure desire pines to rewrite rules. Her voice winds through
the blankets with five words that burn like fuel: "Lie and wait, you fool."

Her voice ignites a fiberoptic thousand miles. He listens to it dance across
these cold ceramic tiles: "Sit and wait awhile."

Though nothing good comes easily, he's patient, though, admittedly, the
phone becomes her face. He sees the calendar's a curse, and worse, the days
are endless surgery dissecting him unnervingly; but leave will lead their
carriage though he'd readied for a hearse.

Joy and sorrow holding hands. I guess it's true that soon the meek will rise
and they'll receive what they are due. Oh yes-- even you.
