Waiting
Ebony Benson
Leaves blow in the open door
drift and scrape across the floor
The room is getting cold.
And from the sky an engine sound
Speaks harmonies that can't be found
Of grey horizons torn apart
Within the doorway safely stand
A memory has no place to land
There's no need now to understand
The autumn night breathes softly
And from the house a yellow light
Spreads a haze into a night
That hovers on the edge of flight
I saw a shadow walk alone.
