nothing concluded 38

pillow of thought
resting the mind
not always as
easy as it is written
slow beneath the black pen

blanket of hope
heavy and sometimes
it’ll smother
that which he tries
hard to hope for

heavy eyes
something will stir
the soul awake and aware
just the way it should be
always needed rest will come

the rest will fall into
place as he hits
the mattress and
drift into some otherwise
unknown reality

putting away consciousness
for now
but where will it go
when split between here
and far off

shooting into the dark
of another sleepless
night far off the mark
right on though
the same thought

thought he could do it tonight
with no ill in mind
the mind seems too ill
not allowing the ship to move
into black blank bliss

what is the bliss of this universe
he is the universe
from his vantage point
everything nothing
and something he can’t even think of

think of that thought
which one he might know
and this
one he would not know
now it’s all the same

same as the thoughts revealed
as he looks
into the mirror
eyes closed
mind open

making sense out of
his nonsense
through a few cents in the cup
today as every other
nothing concluded…
