Explain the significance of the title:

What could the couple be waiting for?

How is the candle symbolic?

Explain the ending: (What it means? Why is there a dash instead of a period?)

5. What is the overall meaning of the poem?

You say we should wait—

It must have snowed all night or season,



we don’t seem to know

and there isn’t a clock;



I say then



we should



wait, I

trust you.



The white page is blank outside;

we haven’t heard in days.

There is not enough time for a whole new plot.



Inside, the wax dilates

wide around the candle.



We sit in the dark

and wait



and are separate,



but looking at each other—
