W to the power of 3

Waiting
Wanting
Wilting

Lost
In your face

Sold
For a taste

Gold
Such a blur

Cost
Such a price

Spread
Just like butter

Flesh
A spine-shiver

Long
Longing
Longingly

I

Wait
Want
Wilt

For what?

W to the power of 3 by 


The gorgeous Susan Weller has an evocative artwork entitled Waiting,. I first viewed it within the week of writing W^3, and it immediately lured me back into that headspace. I encourage you to visit her impressive portfolio, in which she experiments with her own photographs, “digitally enhancing them with various textures and brushes to develop an emotional atmosphere and mood”.

Gotye What Do You Want?

What do you want?
What do you want from us?
To ask you this much is just a matter of trust
Not an affront
What do you want?

Few here’d be true to your point of view
If they knew
What you want
Who here would choose
To walk in those shoes
Even you can’t

So what do you want?
What do you want from us?

What do you want
What do you want that you cannot say
Show us the faith we’re supposed to display
Come what may
You can’t!

So what do you want?
What do you want from us?
It’s a matter of trust
That you tell us just
What you want from us

I’ll defer to Anna Quindlen, of The New York Times: “People who are knowledgeable about poetry sometimes discuss it in that knowing, rather hateful way in which oenophiles talk about wine: robust, delicate, muscular. This has nothing to do with how most of us experience it, the heart coming around the corner and unexpectedly running into the mind. Of all the words that have stuck to the ribs of my soul, poetry has been the most filling.”
