be soon, be long

don't worry,

i'll wait for you.

i'm the king of waiting.

i have

the patience

of a stone.

unaltered by the wind

and rain.

i'll sit here

and drink my coffee,

stare into

my phone.

and i have this to book

to read,

this anthology

of poems.

i'll wait for you,

so take your time,

be soon,

be long.
