Waiting

Photo/Poem, Photographs, Poem 1 Minute

they stand without speaking
against the pale wall
without moving without asking
for anything

they have known hands
and the weight of the world
they have known the breaking
of frost into water

they do not wait
they do not wonder
they stand where they were left
and that is enough

outside the wind moves
somewhere the earth turns
but here
nothing is missing
