nothing concluded 97

on the hard
cement I sit
realizing today
the truth in
“all life is suffering”

to myself
over and over
six syllables
to get me through today
om mani padme hum

those around
won’t hear
my voice
even at the top
of my lungs

on the hard cement
I dream of tomorrow
and tear up
mental pictures of
yesterday, unnecessary

closing my eyes
to the world
around me now
om mani padme hum
nothing concluded
