Make a Wish


Too much chaos in my mind
Because of all she said
And lyrics by Tom Waits were still
Resonating in my head

I was lost in reverie
And all that I can now recall
Is that my eyes were fixed upon
The nocturnal gypsum wall

It may have been a shooting star
That cast cold light upon my back –
That shed a second’s shine of silver
Into the shapeless, silent black

And if it was a distant lightning
Or a car or who can say –
There was barely half a thing
To wish for anyway
