He Always Kept Her Waiting
He always kept her waiting.
He always kept her waiting for him.
The cafe runs in flicker.
Dark people stand and leave for the evening train.
Is he still here?
A shambled figure moves by
as yellow street lights blink with their dusk-born eyes.
The room is stark and empty
only the waitress stands as a willow stands.
...He always kept her waiting...
