nothing concluded 51

full moon
over head again
feeling a change
something has
come over me

smoke clouds
the temple
don’t know how
right now don’t want
to know anything

wishing to see
those thoughts
the others have
somehow lost in the colors
of eyes

scars on my flesh
bring closer to
an imperfect
balance of sorts
but still falling

straight up
against the wall
built me on
one side
and the world stares

what will they say
who really cares
and when will
doing nothing make sense
to someone else

red star above
the skeleton trees
of April
why won’t Venus
answer these questions

following the brick
pathway back
to a spot
once knew it well
everything has changed

for the better
they say
prices always higher
one day this place will go
under no doubt

on the last day
someone will explain
why the kids
call me names
nothing concluded…
