nothing concluded 23


over a month
since
the picture passed
through the mind
nothing concluded
 
thought the thought
was no different
than all rest
never gave up
on that hope
 
sometimes ignoring
the hope helps get through
the tough spots
seeing the moon
through the trees
 
thinking of
a night
some night
long since gone
calling out
 
anyone listening
hope for someone
to hear through all
the darkness of this
or any night
 
the sun
in this early morning
sky makes the left
side warm
it’s cold out there
 
always knew that moon
could connect
those already connected
somehow
not something to be laughed at
 
smudged finger
prints illuminated
on the glass door
has anyone else
noticed this small detail
 
sitting collecting
thoughts in a place
where everyone is thinking
and if not
well they waste their time
 
this early in the morning
everyone sits
alone
no one looks comfortable
nothing concluded
 
the shadow of this pen
dances at dawn
across the page
with no destination
here with me
 
remembering all
the sunrises that came before
and a sunset
given as a gift
purple flower attached
 
does anyone remember
anything interesting
about an encounter
with the holder of this pen
nothing concluded. . .
