Waiting

Waiting for my wife one evening during winter

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
