Unfinished

Now I know what a ghost is. Unfinished business, that's what.
― Salman Rushdie



Faint above the ticking clock
The ceaseless tread of time


The passage of your days
Drawing circles in the rain

And the wind mourns your flight
With a passing distant train

A whistle on the wind,
That slowly fades away.

And all the hope
That never was,

The midnight talks
Of two of us

Pages filled with promise
Return to primal chaos

Your life a non-event
A bright coin lost unspent
