too long have you deprived me of the pathos of longing

Jon Nakapalau

in a season of arid wanting

my heart a seed that you held in alabaster hand
the symmetry of my days were closed

yet in stillness did i hope
for you to drop me at your feet

to be trampled upon
or to grow with your tears

your love a garden
your indifference a desert

yet still longing for your choice
once my last dream was dreamt

to harvest pathos from your lips.
