ALonE

   Alone! ' I cried again.
Alone I am with me!
Lonely in a world of mist
Alone, I reach to touch your wrist
And see if I am thee

To be alone beside a soul
Afloat, adrift, an empty ghoul
Alone in woe, the yearning flesh
To fill a thin, contorted mesh
Diffuse atop an icy floor, alone.

So much alone in fact, I lack
The tonal vibrancy of life

I am a song without a tune
alone

The blueness of a sullen moon
waning in a starless night
alone

Coasting down a weedy pass
aloneThe only image in the glass
alone

To meet a certain heavy fate
to turn and shut the knurly gate

alone.
