Wait a Minute<br />

by Elene Ueckermann<br />

Have you ever seen<br />

a phoenix burst into flames<br />

or a star in a galaxy<br />

implode from far away<br />

Have you ever mourned<br />

<strong>the</strong> death of a word<br />

as page after page<br />

transforms into a pool<br />

Ever felt that need to hide<br />

in a dark and safer place<br />

a fence to keep <strong>the</strong> monsters out<br />

saved from th<strong>is</strong> crazy pace<br />

Ever taken <strong>the</strong> time to trace<br />

your broken memories<br />

imprinted in your palm<br />

a network of faded dreams<br />

Ever stared at <strong>the</strong> broken bottle top<br />

w<strong>is</strong>hing it could all be undone<br />

or watched <strong>the</strong> cracks in <strong>the</strong> mirror<br />

spread across your shattered skin<br />

Ever spent <strong>the</strong> night alone in bed<br />

typing nonsense on your screen<br />

w<strong>is</strong>hing it would go away<br />

reality turned into a dream
