Outcomes

a morning sky is covered

in a light charcoal darkness,

allowing the light of a hidden

sun to still open the day;

residential silhouettes

surround my vision

trying to discern

points of recognition

of what I know to be true;

no barking dogs heard near

no stray cats wondering silently

no birds of prey circling overhead

only silence of the nothing kind

except for my ceiling fan

and the thoughts bouncing off

my mental walls of concern;

reflected lights through a window

shines as electricity burns 

in every room and I see nothing

of what I am supposed to see

and worry about those outcomes.
