pastel love couldn’t wound a fool
so give me the brilliance and daring
of risky hues like bluei am beside the railroad track
because i trust your coming
even though i still hear nothingdo not despise the waiting
the soil is being made readyblessed are they who give you their day
joining with the widow in her plea
i need more
than i know how to ask for
i need so much moredo not despise the waiting
the soil is being made readyon walls and wrists your heart is a fist
harsh, tense and tight –
here is some gentleness
drink a bit of this
this gentleness
and just let me hold youdo not despise the waiting
Made Ready, by Crystal Ellefsen
the soil is being made ready
