nothing concluded 10


looking down
soft warm
surface below
cushion my feet
if in fact there
is a fall

spending last night
with five
as
we all speed
towards a seven
lost in translation

looming only
moments
ahead is another
one to add
to the enormous
collection

filling another hole
but
becoming more
a part
of the whole
you see?

when was the last time
you saw a night like
this night
you have in front of you
had you cared
to look?

when you leave
can I catch a ride
to the beautiful sunset
that woman
gave me
last night?

eventually they
all
leave in an almost
ordinary fashion
leaving behind
bits of shattered sunshine

starting a new point daily
in a direction toward
his own positive light
despite the shattered darkness
and gloom ahead
lagging behind—nothing concluded. . .
