a long patient wait
idly whiling and wasting away
whilst the malignly incurable careers purposefully on
the persistent pain busily insistent
restless cries rise
long days drag endlessly on
the wheels turn slowly
please wait patiently
they’ll be round soon
brief time rushes effortlessly past
still silence falls
motionless lips murmur now no more
their pleas and thank-yous over, they cease their quiet gratitude
and the interminable ends as a line is drawn under
a long patient wait
