nothing concluded 45

the mind maze
blank like the page
stared at long enough
white as the snow
and cold

these last few days
people want something
warmer gripping
with white knuckles
not to be blown away by wind

trying to salvage one or two
more days and it
won’t bother the
toughest skin burn faces
numb the fingers

a powerful presence
soon all will be joyful
when winter is gone
here in new England
never knowing

when or
how early it will return
with the final word
dropped on—
nothing concluded…
