The title is German. It translates as "I wait only for you".
December stabs
my lungs
Sternum aching I
lean against a
brittle wall in
hopes that
you can breathe
warmth back into
the world.

I want to make you sing.

I want you to be beautiful.

All these panels are cicada shells.
My heart is more inelastic still.
I lose my way in wind-swept snow.
A Colorless soul.

What could I have offered?
