waited
right from the outset
ingesting all signals
subtle but intense
had the courage to cite
a woman’s invite to unite
an elite member of times long past
from the Empire of the Ottomans, at last
yet, the choice, firm, had been made
with not one miniscule hope left
waited
right from the outset
this time, it is the end
must stop waiting to any further extent
for tomorrow’s ills are still to be met
