UnBroken

When I accept that fire is missing,
the unbroken, breaking, the tone of two
voices whispering prayer; this means
disappointment-

this will be my abiding companion,
patron of my inconscient communion
with waiting, the timely possession
of heart and reserve.

Are we cursed to hurry towards empty,
rushing through the sluggish vein,
neglecting maturity and patience
to spoil what remains?
