blather
poisoned_apple
australian highrise and of course
the something that I wanted
crumbled, turned into
....
dust
nothing
a failed question
an empty answer
books unread
a rocking chair
sitting dormant

blank
and waiting
waiting for something
something that hasn't come
something that may never
show up

maybe
it's being
fashionably late
taking it's time at
the front sidewalk
messing with my heart

I wither while I wait
drooping
a week-old sunflower
sitting in a dusty
forgotten vase

shadows and cobwebs
fill the corners
taking over
woe conquering over
mirth

it's not time to give up
not yet

hanging on...
