Wait Weight

As despair goes

so goes the heart.

Kicking walnuts into

the street

wondering how

gutters catch

the dismal clarity.

Pro teen covered

in hard shell

covered in bitter

green insulation.

The rains come,

the cold autumn

death deifying

currents carry

what falls from the tree.

As hope goes

so goes the heart.

Rolling lime green

embossed nuts

over sacrificial colored

leaves of grass.

The fall reigns

washing bitter sheen

and softening pulp

to peal on the cement.

It wastes not.

The shell exposed

hops on down the line

of rivulets.

The dip in the deign

crevasse an

adolescent seed to

burrow under

its unseen destiny.  

As despair and hope go

so goes the heart.

The twins of wait

and weight

and wait.
