Waiting

The sun is setting
Bloodletting the sky
And we are waiting
As the cars whizz by.

The rhythm of the rumbling
Of a time gone past
And we are waiting
To go somewhere at last.

Venus is shining
Foreboding a crimson upset
And we are waiting
To get our feet wet.

Did we hear thunder roll
From the golden clouds?
And we are waiting
To remove our withered shrouds.

It is hot and humid
Our heads feel far from fine
And we are waiting
Too long for stars to align.

The road narrows
As the horizon expands
And we are waiting
For the rest that're damned.
