nothing concluded 7

these things said
and the questions
the addiction
and when will it
all end, why?

relaxing with
realizing I don’t want
it anymore
habitual policy
quit me now

pushing myself
wanting nothing more
than to extinguish
the fire
all that smoke

sitting with the family now
everyone together
no particular reason
but thankful just the same
changing words if need be

traveling inward
in a crowd
seeing myself
working outward
in order to stabilize

pushing back
the head and relaxing
everyone around
enjoying the silence
nothing concluded. . .
