nothing concluded 98

been gone
for sometime
but now
returning with new words
and thoughts

painting pictures
pure thought
thick, stuck
in the mind forcing
themselves onto the page

slowly turning
towards the sun
greeting it with
a new face
attitude to match

lighting the candles
preparing
for an arrival
whispering myself
into a corner

want not to be seen
heard or touched
hearing the wind whistle
outside the window
arrival is close

trembling for fear
of something unknown
desire still to take
the plunge
into and out of

reality and imagination
drawing pictures
of perfection in the sand
sticking out the neck
into the 'I dunno' section

of the mind the biggest part
watching the smoke
pour out of the glass
and the song is
played too much

don't want to tire
all the while sitting
patiently waiting
impending doom
only moments away

the dishes
remain unclean
and my position
hasn't changed
the roar shatters glass

as flesh hammers
hit glass all over the house
bricks of reality
stack high up on the totem pole
of insanity

who says all the rules
have to apply
to every situation
life is such strangeness
waiting again

trees swaying
the breeze is cool
and the air feels good
through the window
this time for sure—nothing concluded...
