A Coin Toss

[evangelion_100]

What are you
tiny girl?
pale
reflection
of a distant woman
something
small
and vacillating
back and forth
and back and forth
a soul
like a fish
that flips
and flops
on dry sand

You are just a
reminder
of a fiery heart
that I can't hold
till time
surrenders
and perhaps luck
will smile
for once
on this little man

She's singing
and smiling
somewhere
and I think
that
I will wait
and wait
and wait and wait
until spring
awakes
and the flowers bloom
when that spark
brings life
back to the city
warming bones
and hearts

I think
I'll wait
till summer comes
and I'll see
how you look
at me
but the winter
seems long
so long

and doubt
is a funny thing
that is usually justified
when it comes to me
and someone else
but I will
wait
and I will see
how you look
at
me
