The Wishing

Edgar Degas, L’étoile, 1878 – source

What is left to say
in the many books to read
the blank pages at the end
I always wondered what they hid,
in between the spaces
lines are coming back to breathe
did you make the choice
did it came imposed,
the dreaming of a future that nothing could’ve hold,
I’m told you danced that morning feeling pretty dressed in white
I wish you rice and glitter over kindness and good time…
