midday midnight

midday phone call
he doesn’t feel so alone
only thought on rest
the call is more than welcome
like the sun burning the front
of the tower sits staring into
the blinding sky staring back at him
feels so small in the broad scheme
of things and thoughts
that no one else can comprehend
he wants to explain himself
instead he listens intently
it’s what he’s got to do
and there isn’t a part
of him that minds at all
sounds around distract
his thought twisting
like smoke between fingers snapping
three years ago and so much since
midday call and midnight visit
how much loss can he consider
a gain of some kind
things just change
evidence is inconclusive
puddle people on get their feet wet…
