Uncertainty
Flurries of dissimilar snowflakes drift off into the distance
Silhouettes twirling onto land, each to their own
Destination unknown
Keeping me contained inside its metal exterior,
glass is my barrier to the still openness outside
A heated hum bellows beneath the seats
Disruptive engine rumbles, continuing to rip through
the wind divides, takes a side as we pass by
The booming sound system and boisterous singing
An entourage to endless laughter
Our echo, still entangled in trees
It plows the fields and pollinates bees
Takes me to chocolate chip pancakes,
unwashed fingers in the mixing bowl,
Hunching over homework while
the room fills with rhythmic strumming of a guitar
To go back
Cliff dive into depths unknown
Suppress the freezing uncertainty from seeping through
To go back behind your protective glass
But the water has turned to ice so that time is past.
Locking pinkies, we promised tomorrows
Swore and swore
But now,
Soft crunching trails behind me
dirtied sneakers crush the insignificant flakes of snow
Tamping into nothing
the white sheet was due for a rude awakening
Flurries scream at me from the trees
Beckoning me to go back
Outside the protective glass barrier
I pass through
And let the wind carry me to uncertainty
