"The Moment We Must Finish" 

By: Khatoon Hazara 

 

 

 

 

Just a little while will we wait 

Through the flowers and past the gate 

The tall river over yonder will famish us 

And the buffet at the table will parch us 

 

 

 

Here's to us; never having enough 

Though the cold outside is soon coming in 

The sun and the moon will bring us back again 

And then soon will we wait for the gates to open 

 

 

 

This blue and black moment 

We will wait and wait until it is yet again broken 

Plain out in English, can't you see what we didn't finish? 

We must finish the unfinished 

 

 

 

You say it has been quite a doozy; the situation has been dry 

But here I say something more than what you would've  

And always there is something in it that you've missed 

Do you see now? 

 

 

Here I am; waiting.
