unfinished business between the lines



everything green turns black
when a room fades

from illumination

to: i am not ready
for you to come calling
asking for your
pied piper's penance
in exchange for

you

will not catch me
with the three corners
you have in mind.
you will need

more than everything green

turns black
when a room fades,
and illumination becomes

the chandelier

has no business
on the street corner
at this hour
and neither do i
which is why i'm here
waiting
for everything green to turn…
