nothing concluded 120

changes tune like the wind
changing direction in the trees
like fingers through the hair
the neighborhood quiet
mind out loud

still enormous raindrops
landing in the eyes
watery enough without help
struggling to breathe
plenty of air

around each tree a yellow
ribbon but the president
doesn't care
hard to think rationally
everything is confusing

the brain may
overload and spill over
ash trays shatter
when thrown to one side
or the other

how many nights left
until the wick is buried
beneath hardened wax
makes everything shiny
trapped as fruit in Jello

something fell over onto the floor
tripping falling getting
right back up
it's what life is all about
nothing concluded...
