Chairs are lifted like tired hands
Gold light folds across the floor
Half a lime beside the glasses
Nothing happened, I want more
Morning makes the window holy
Like the night was never cheap
I know there’s nothing waiting
Just the shine and the room
Still I go where it glows
Still I dress for the view
Lipstick fades on borrowed crystal
Ice melts down to clear
Someone laughs outside the doorway
Then disappears from here
I don’t call it hoping
I just follow what returns
I know there’s nothing waiting
Just the shine and the room
Still I go where it glows
Still I dress for the view
If the light was honest
Would I want it less
If the room stayed empty
Would I still say yes
I know there’s nothing waiting
Just the shine and the room
Still I go where it glows
Still I dress for the view

Proof of Wanting
Ketra Sain
In a city gone cold, the fact that you still want something becomes the only proof you're alive.
