nothing concluded 139

what it might mean

or doesn't

which side is more right

absolutely temperature

drops ten degrees

in one hour

where does the night go

as time slips into dark

eight passed the same hour

waiting for sister

nothing concluded

might even be late

from time to time

coming from Brazil

the heat blows from beneath...

nothing concluded 138

whatever it might mean

or doesn't

cold returns

a couple days of snow

nothing concluded

and nothing is the same

closed down the spot

ten years back

sit for hours

philosophizing

remembering a night in April

a foot or more

snow car stuck

had to walk home

and whatever

it might have meant

or not

nothing concluded

felt like something then

five lines down

and over

write to the left

as usual

and the bag is empty

again

backwards

spoken slow

everyone will understand

nothing concluded

like the end of a book

just beginning

to see the depth

from this spot

high above

thoughts so deep

most want to walk away

or ignore

nothing concluded

left hand twistin

right hand is the write hand...

that's all

the spring is trying

so very hard

to push its face through the clouds

still forty something on the porch

out here despite the slight chill

up the back occasionally

as he moves from left to right

across the page

as if someone has to catch the thoughts

and he happens to be the closest

to the window at the moment

neighborhood becomes the spot

designated for the migration

of all the kids cooped up all winter…
