Nothing

days strung together
tightly, like nylon on a guitar 
fingers strumming 
fret after fret 
slightly out of tune 

time goes by 
fingers drumming 
on a table, waiting 
for another moment to go by 
another insignificant nothing 

an open window 
a bee buzzing
drawing zigzag patterns  
seeking sweet, sweet nectar 
but this room is empty 
 
a humid evening
​dragonflies humming 
the air heavy, holding back  
promises of something 
that's not going to happen today 

a sky full of stars
a cricket chirping  
smoke rises in circles  
fading into the darkness 
that was today
