Expectancy

I've decided to capture some of my poetry on audio. I've begun by going back to my earliest blog posts from about six years ago.


Expectancy
by Kevin Cahill

One day I opened the door -
you were there -
to say I had been expecting you
would be like saying
I always knew
the difference between being
lucky and simply being
where I was.
But at that moment I couldn’t
imagine being anywhere else


I keep opening the door
hoping to conjure you,
to say that I am disappointed
would be like saying
the difference between finding
a door and you behind it
is nothing more than
a matter of time.
But right now I can’t
imagine expecting anything else.
