Waiting

Waiting

Waiting for the limb to break.

Waiting for the axel to crack.

Waiting for the table to tilt.

Waiting for the blood to dam.

Waiting for the night to cover.

Waiting:

Its power to blot

Dawn’s white,

Day’s blue,

Dusk’s orange.

Eugene “Gene” Novogrodsky, late January 2012

About Gene Novogrodsky

Eugene “Gene” Novogrodsky has lived in the Rio Grande Valley in Brownsville for 21 years. He is a co-founder of the Narciso Maritinez Cultural Arts Center Writers Forum in San Benito. He says he has rarely been published; he fears rejection! Instead he loves to read his work in Savory Perks, in the Writers forum, and the Valley International Poetry Festival events. What he enjoys most is reading to several friends, or even strangers in small groups. He is married to his friend and companion, Ruth E. Wagner, who is also a poet and craftsperson. He does write letters to both print and online publications and has been a good friend to Writers of the Rio Grande.
