So many unasked answers

the non-mysteries piling up

like yesterday's laundry

moved from the

bedroom chair to the

laundry room

next to the algebra

new equations with

so many variables

hunkered down

plotting points

waiting to jump out

and startle

the thunder flashes

into the room and the

lightning crashes

splitting the night air

with a mumbling lament

in the deep quiet

of the empty room

a raindrop falls

and echoes

unhidden

in secret

places.
