You asked me
To wait for you
In my smooth, modal dress
The one, you'd always said, just shyly seemed to note the valleys of my body–
The dips above my hips
The curve of my lower back
You asked
That I wait for you
In our golden chair
Which made its way to me
All the way across an ocean
And a sea
All the while, the
Soft scarlet throw sent to us by my mother, still miraculously
Crumpled upon its seat
You want to know
If I'll wait for you, now,
As the evening sun falls- surrendered to the blackening hills of the Galil
And I will
I will wait,
Red lines, now drawn
Down the delicate pale of each arm.
