State of Being Alone - Part 1 to 4
/One
Does being alone mean an empty house?
Have you held a kitchen to yourself as the pot whistled?
and choked on a chuckle with yourself
at how memories were accomplished at this stove
Two
Does being alone mean pinpricks on a dark night?
Have you looked at the dark branches of those trees?
in reverence at the elemental ways that ghouls speak
to falling stars, the clouds, the framing sky
Three
Does being alone mean sending waking dreams into the dawn?
Have you opened the door to a sweet smoky morning?
and safely exited the thoughts that held on to your little finger
as though a scared child looking at the black yonder
Four
Does being alone mean going down deep within your frenzy?
Have you delved into your own shadows?
carefully braiding them into each of your hairline fractures
they bury into broken places, eyelids frothing
