take the word loneliness
take that lonely word
loneliness
and sit with it quietly under the sky
in your field
or run with it cliff top
torn to shreds by the sea’s breath
or under the midnight stars
tell them how it is
how you miss no one but xxx
plant the seed where seeds don’t grow
in the dark places
walk away
does it matter if it grows
the lonely word drops letters
everywhere it goes with you
loneliness drops hints
that every letter parchment bound
never adds or removes from the world
never blooms or runs to seed
but sits there with you friend
a good companion early met
and true to the end
inside outside
the air is warmed in slow breaths
it hangs in a misted question
dissipates in the unanswered
halted on a ferris wheel at night
between moon and sun
as lonely as death
yet with all the promises you made
to yourself and no other
will ever know
