instantly dark

actually hard to stomach
the music Saturday night
lonely diner
no one here
the day gone
before it even got going
spent spinning circles
sunset behind gray sky
the light doesn’t linger
like those clear nights
instantly dark
vision distorted until
adjustment arrives
silence eating the evening raw
two days since news of misfortune
silence eats everything
in it’s path
the end of comfort
temporarily not knowing
where to put the weight
dropped on shoulders
burning under the enormous weight
the most impatient
always seem to wait the longest
no reason to stop moving
moving without direction
the patient ones think the most
trying to enjoy solitude
even though loneliness creeps
met with more thought
to burn one up in the air…
