Waiting
Waiting for my wife one winter's evening


 You knock at the door of remembrance
 while the day declines onto peaks
 time is anchoring amidst the mountains
 and fireplace sparkling equal flames
 diluting light between the squatted thighs
 up to hands laying joined over the paunch
 But when your step near this iron gate
 comes but not stealthy into this plushy silence
 hinges are snapped off and this big home
 will burst with joy of cheers within the night
